im staying in for the rest of today, but had a short conversation about the hatecrime event that happened and it reminded me of the happenings that happened in the past
ive been beat up, spat on, not let into buildings like school, stalked, etc multiple times just because i am lgbt and thats like wild lol, nowadays the discrimination is mainly verbal and systematic -- slurs, threats, bureaucracy, baseless opinion-based arguments from authority ( e.g., the time school teachers collected and decided they "cannot call me by my name" based on "legal basis", despite there not being such a law, and now that i put pressure on them its fine ?????? and now theyre complaining that it wasnt from "day 1" ??? like who tf refused this in the first place )
anyway at least now im not getting beat up ... mainly getting verbal attacks, some creepy people taking pictures of me, rarely get spat on now which is nice, its been a while since someone not let me into a building because of how i am -- so glad thats progress
maybe one day lithuania will do something about this, but nemuno aušra ( party that started from žemaitaitis being anti-Semitic ) being one of the more popular parties in lithuania does not make me hopeful for the foreseeable future
