In 1993, Lithuania's Parliament abolished Article 122.1 of it's Penal Code. Article 122.1 had criminalized male-to-male sex between adults with a punishment of up to three years imprisonment.

Constitutionally banned since 1992. A bill that would have allowed civil unions with limited rights for same-sex couples would have been discussed soon in the Parliament but that was taken off the schedule.
A court in 2023 stated that a same-sex couple who married abroad cannot register their marriage.

In December of 2024, Lithuania's Constitutional Court struck down the anti-LGBT provisions of the Law of the Protection of Minors. They cited Article 25, and Article 38 of the Constitution which guarantee freedom of speech, and define family as "the foundation of society and the state" and that the state protects and cares for the family, motherhood, fatherhood, and childhood," respectively.

Article 2.27 of the Civil Code allows any non-married person to change legal gender if this is medically possible. The second paragraph states, however, that the procedures for changing gender should be led according to a separate law. The Parliament and the Government of Lithuania refuse to take any actions on adopting such a law after it lost the case of L v. Lithuania in the European Court of Human Rights in 2007. Since then, gender change has become possible only with a court's decision and sex reassignment surgery.

It was proposed to eliminate this provision in 2009, and once again in 2013.

In April 2017, the European Court of Human Rights ruled, in A.P., Garçon and Nicot v. France, that it is discriminatory and a human rights violation to require transgender people to undergo surgery to alter their official documents. Subsequently, two Lithuanian trans men were allowed by Lithuanian courts to change their gender on their official documents without them undergoing surgery beforehand. Lithuanian LGBT groups are now calling on future legislation scrapping the requirement for surgery to be introduced.

Effective from February 2, 2022, transgender individuals within Lithuania who want to change their legal name and/or sex can do so legally without sex reassignment surgery under new justice regulations. However, trans people who wish to change their name on official documents will still have to obtain a certificate from a Lithuanian or EU healthcare establishment of “diagnosed transgenderism”
