A Letter to the Lithuanian People (2007)
I am Dr. Scott Lively, an American attorney and President of Defend the Family International,
a human rights NGO. I hold a Doctor of Law and a Doctor of Theology, as well as special
credentials in International Human Rights. I am the author of the Riga Declaration on Religious
Freedom, Family Values and Human Rights (see http://www.defendthefamily.com/intl/), and an
international lecturer on these topics.
I came to Lithuania to warn the Lithuanian people about the threat posed to your society by
the global homosexual political movement, which has begun to organize in your nation. At the
outset, let me say that I advocate a high tolerance for the people who define themselves by their choice
of a homosexual lifestyle, even while I promote a low tolerance for homosexual conduct. Homosexual
activists would have you believe that tolerance for them requires total acceptance and approval of
their lifestyle, but that is not obligatory, nor prudent. In fact, discrimination against homosexual
behavior is necessary to protect your society from the consequences of “gay” culture, which always
pushes for greater and greater liberalism in sexual attitudes, especially among young people. To see
the danger of this we need look no further than Holland, where sexual liberalism promoted by the
homosexual movement has led to the creation of a pedophile political party, whose right to hold seats
in parliament, to advocate for the legalization of adult/child sexual relationships, has been approved
by the Dutch courts.
We should not, however, discriminate against persons who define themselves as homosexuals.
They should be free to label themselves as they choose, no less so than other groups whose beliefs or
goals are disapproved by the majority. Indeed, we can compare homosexuals to their chief adversaries,
the radical nationalists. Both groups hate each other, and would like to do away with the other.
Neither side is embraced by the majority, but both deserve the right to freedom of their beliefs and
to freedom of speech within reasonable limits. The rest of us must be willing to tolerate these
difficult neighbors to preserve civility for society as a whole.
The chief danger of the homosexual movement is that it always seeks to take away the
freedom of speech from anyone who disapproves of homosexuality. In Canada, where homosexual
activism has enjoyed considerable success, there are now so-called Human Rights Tribunals which
have the power to punish anyone who publicly opposes homosexuality by making the offender pay a
monetary fine. The money is then given to the homosexual who filed the complaint. The most
recent incident involved a Catholic member of the City Council of Kamloops, British Columbia. His
offence was to call homosexuality “unnatural.” One wonders if Pope Benedict himself would face
arrest in Canada, since he has repeatedly affirmed that homosexuality is “intrinsically disordered.”
Religious opinions are also silenced wherever homosexuals gain the power to silence them.
Consider a recent case from Sweden. On June 29, 2004, Pastor Ake Green was sentenced to one
month in jail for showing “disrespect” against homosexuals in the sermon he delivered in his pulpit in
Borgholm. The title of his sermon was “Are people born with homosexual orientation or is it the
result of influence by evil powers?” Pastor Green was eventually exonerated by the Swedish Supreme
Court, but only over the vigorous objection of the “gay” activists in that nation (would the result have
been the same if the judges were “gay”?).
Just this week In Britain, the House of Lords approved a bill to prohibit private Christian
schools from teaching their students that homosexuality is wrong.
