COMMUNITY VOICES
Vladimir Simonko: visibility has a history
LGL’s account of Vladimir Simonko describes the cost of being publicly open and the preservation of Lithuanian LGBTQ community stories. His archive of press coverage makes that history tangible. Read it alongside the city’s independence-era cultural story, then follow LGL’s current public work rather than assuming an old interview describes today’s schedule.
