Viljandi officials denied a permit for a Baltic Pride rainbow banner display, citing community expectations and Children's Day. The Estonian LGBT Association planned to unfurl a large rainbow banner in a central square on June 1. Organizers were surprised by the rejection, which cited concerns about the event being "child-friendly." The banner display has been approved in Tallinn and Tartu, with Narva approval pending. This year's Baltic Pride, hosted by Estonia, begins May 30.
