This underground passage next to the Panorama shopping center has become one of the most recognizable symbols of the public controversy over the rights of LGBT + people.
The discussions escalated when a bill was introduced to the Seimas to legalize same-sex couples.
In May, the Seimas rejected the law by a small majority and liberal politicians intend to pass it again in the next few years or months.
Advocates for the law argue that this would reduce discrimination against LGBT people and solve practical problems in their lives. The Church and conservative politicians argue that this would undermine the status of the traditional family and would be a first step towards possible adoption in same-sex families.
