Renew Europe is the ultimate defender of the rights of sexual minorities. Our Group has fought tirelessly for equal rights & opportunities of LGBTQI+ people in the EU and beyond. Although the majority of member states have legal measures against discrimination, they are not sufficiently implemented, leaving members of the LGBTQI+ community vulnerable to hate crimes and discrimination in their everyday lives.
๐ณ๏ธโ๐ #renew4equality. We take a clear stance for equality and this year we launched a list of 10 commitments pledging our support to introduce further legalisation guaranteeing the equal rights for #LGBTI+ people in the EU and beyond!.

Our determination is to make tangible progress within this legislature by:
- Declaring Europe a LGBTQI+ Freedom Zone (EP resolution voted in March 2021 )
- Recognising and expanding the rights of rainbow families in all 27 Member States
- Banning forced conversion therapies targeting youth
- Pushing for the adoption of Horizontal Equal Treatment Directive, including strong equal treatment rights for LGBTQI+ people
- Ensuring the EU is a safe and welcoming place of refuge for LGBTQI+ asylum seekers
- and advocating the inclusion of LGBTI rights in all EU monitoring exercises on Democracy, Rule of Law and Fundamental Rights across the EU27

Proud of my group @RenewEurope to have launched #Renew4Equality 10 commitments for #LGBTI rights! ๐ Commissioner @helenadalli for your engagement to be able to #BeWhoYouARe & #LoveWhoYouWant ๐ช๐บ๐ณ๏ธโ๐ ๐

Many young LGBTI people feel the need to hide their sexual orientation or identity. LGBTI-phobia in schools & universities can turn into bullying and make it difficult and dangerous to come out.
