Lithuanian LGBT community secures permit for pride march in Vilnius

The organization has secured a permit from Vilnius City authorities for an event of 1,000 people. The pride march will take place on 18 June, Saturday, along Gediminas Avenue. It will be followed by a rally and a concert in the Bernardine Gardens.

Vladimir Simonko, chairman of the LGL, says that, unlike in previous years, the city administration and the police have been very cooperative: “In 2013, we had some problems, but we escaped them this year, so now we have plenty of time to prepare for the festival we want to give as a present to the city. I believe such a tradition should continue in the future.”
