Last summer, four Members of the European Parliament, Mrs in 't Veld, myself, Mr Cashman and Mr Fjellner, representing four groups, the majority of this Parliament, were in Vilnius, in Lithuania, together with the first Baltic Pride to be held in Vilnius, empowering and supporting lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people in this city and we were there under the European flag telling everybody, 'this flag protects us, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people, and that is true also for Lithuania'.
Eelmisel suvel olid neli Euroopa Parlamendi liiget - Sophia in 't Veld, ma ise, Michael Cashman ja Christofer Fjellner, esindades nelja fraktsiooni, selle parlamendi enamust - Leedus Vilniuses, kuna oli esimene Vilniuses toimuv paraad "Baltic Pride”, millega jõustatakse ja toetatakse homo-, bi- ja transseksuaalse selles linnas. Olime seal Euroopa lipu all öeldes kõikidele, et see lipp kaitseb meid, homo-, bi- ja transseksuaale, ning see on tõsi ka Leedu puhul.
