I come from Poland. 30% of Poland is "LGBTI-free zones".
I thought zones free of something were only in the textbooks. But that is not the case.

Someone somewhere decided that LGBTIQ people are not as human as others.

It's important to have many allies, says @MarcAngel_lu.
We have allies in this room, in the LGBTI intergroup. Allyship is essential.

When this resolution declaring the EU an LGBT freedom zone, we had 498 out of 705 MEPs votes for that resolution.
A day where I felt not alone.

We have a very diverse situation in Europe, says @Camila_Garfias.
We do have countries with good laws, where social acceptance is high.
But we do still have issues in those countries, especially for our most vulnerable community, the trans community.

Whenever we talk about LGBT rights on social media, people comment - don't you have any other problems? We do but all problems are interlinked.

The social democratic movement wants a good life for everyone. Irrespective of class, gender, age, sexual orientation.
