Lithuania holds gay pride parade amid protest
None
Several hundred gay and lesbian rights activists have gathered for a parade in Lithuania's capital, attracting a large protest and a bigger police presence.
The activists have planned to march along Vilnius' central commercial avenue, which has been barricaded and surrounded by hundreds of police, many in full riot gear, to prevent disturbances. Approximately 200 protesters have assembled on a large central square adjacent to the avenue. (AP)
