Some 2,000 LGBTQ activists marched along Gediminas Avenue in Vilnius, Saturday. The marchers' demands were for greater equality and rights for sexual minorities. The march took place as part of Gay Pride.
The 'March for Equality' procession passed near Cathedral Square where they were met by a group of anti-LGBTQ protesters, headed by the leader of the Union of the Fighters for Lithuania party, Vytautas Sustauskas. The anti-LGBTQ protesters shouted expletives and made obscene gestures as the 'March for Equality' passed by, but high numbers of police officers prevented the tension from escalating.
Police stated that six protesters were arrested during the demonstration.
