- Lietuvos Lesbieciu Lyga - Sappho (LLL)
- Oficialus Lietuvos lesbieciu lygos puslapis apie Lietuvos lesbieciu gyvenima.The official page of Lithuanian Lesbians League. SAPPHO is an organization of lesbians in Lithuania which was formally established February 1995. The founding members of SAPPHO elected a president and discussed the direction of the newly formed lesbian organization. Prior to the establishment of SAPPHO there was no lesbian organization in Lithuania. Since there were no formally established or active lesbian organizations in Lithuania, the creator of LALGO (the Lithuanian Assoc. of Lesbian & Gay Organization) did not include or take into consideration the needs of the lesbian community in Lithuania. Thus it is a misnomer to imply that lesbians are included within LALGO. Furthermore, LALGO was created primarily as a gay men's organization, which limited and minor emphasis given to the lesbian community. Edit Listing
