When you date a new guy, how do you find out about his exes?

President Valdas Adamkus of Lithuania has vetoed a bill that would have prohibited the discussion of homosexuality in schools and banned it from any public information that could be seen or referenced by children the Advocate reports.

The bill, called the “Law on the Protection of Minors against the Detrimental Effect of Public Information,” was overwhelmingly passed by the Lithuanian parliament on June 16. Other information that would be banned by the law includes the portrayal of physical or psychological violence, the display of a dead or cruelly mutilated body, and information that arouses fear or horror, or encourages self-mutilation or suicide.

Lithuania, a member of the European Union, received criticism for the bill because it contradicts a joint statement the country signed at the UN General Assembly in December 2008. The join statement reaffirmed that human rights apply equally to every human being regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.

President Adamkus’s veto can be reversed by the Lithuanian Parliament but only with an absolute majority.
