Anti-gay website under scrutiny
Quote:
Vilnius - Authorities in Lithuania are probing a website that calls for people to kill gays and warns people not to declare in public that they are homosexual, the prosecutor's office said on Monday.
"Two separate investigations were started. One is related to a website directed against homosexual people, another to leaflets distributed in Vilnius, which call for action against the homosexual community," Aurelija Juodyte, a spokesperson for the prosecutor's office, told AFP.
"Among the comments on the website, entitled 'Let's stop the rainbow colours', were calls to beat and kill homosexual people," Juodyte said. "The leaflets warned homosexual people not to out (declare they were gay) in public," she added.
