ILGA-Europe, an LGBTI rights organization, has published its annual review of the situation of LGBTI rights in Europe, noting that while some countries are moving towards marriage equality, others have introduced discriminatory measures like criminalization of “homosexual propaganda”.

In its Rainbow Map, ILGA-Europe assesses legal framework affecting LGBTI rights in areas like anti-discrimination policies, recognition of same-sex family relations, protection against hate crime, legal gender recognition, etc, giving each country a score from zero (gross violation of human rights) to one hundred (full equality). The United Kingdom (77) scored best among 49 nations, while Russia (7) was at the bottom.

With a score of 21, Lithuania placed 31st among 49 European countries, below Estonia (29) and Poland (22), but above Latvia (20).
