The primary focus of the movement is voicing out their opposition for bills it mostly considers to be a threat to the traditional nuclear family, the well-being of children, and society at large, such as the legalization of same-sex civil unions,[1] same-sex marriages, decriminalisation of drugs, ratification of Istanbul Convention or vaccine passports.
[5][6] Soon thereafter, the movement stated in an open letter that "We regret the individual disrespectful outbursts" during Mališkaitė's speech and that "the negative reaction was not aimed at the defenders of freedom or the events of January 13th, but at politicians".
[7] The Lithuanian Family Movement is a unified sociopolitical entity with Raimondas Grinevičius[8] alongside the Council of other nine members serving as its primary leadership.
According to one of the founders Arturas Orlauskas, the purpose of such nationwide gatherings is “to protect the Lithuanian state from anticonstitutional actions, which violate the basic rights and freedoms of the society.”[9] They are also organized to “defend our country’s children, the youth, families, and schools from the harmful influence of sexual minorities…”[9] The movement has been strengthening its ties with other European anti-gender groups and government officials in countries such as Poland, Hungary, Italy, Germany, and Ireland.
[12] On June 13–14, 2022, a delegation from the Lithuanian Family Movement held a meeting with the management of the Polish Catholic organisation Ordo Iuris and officially agreed on further cooperation.
