Lithuanian member of parliament, Viktor Uspaskich, has been expelled from the country’s centre-left Labour party following a series of anti-LGBTQ+ comments.
In a Facebook live video, Uspaskich said: “Today, in some European countries, it is dangerous to say that you are a representative of natural orientation, it has already become dangerous…Most of these people do not advertise…….
they are perverts, and such things must not be tolerated.” He also used anti-LGBTQ+ slurs.Uspaskich was given the opportunity to apologise or face removal from his position, but he insisted his comments had been taken out of context as Lithuanian is not his native language.
