In 2020, a new EU strategy for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Non-Binary, Intersex, and Queer (LGBTIQ) individuals was implemented, following a call for action from both the Council of the European Union and the European Parliament.
The Greens/EFA group and our MEPs have been at the forefront of advocating for LGBTIQ+ rights for years. We work side by side by leading LGBTIQ+ organisations and meet with queer activists and changemakers in Member States.
Over the years, we have worked closely with dozens of civil society actors, from grassroots activists to large umbrella associations such as ILGA and TGEU. Ensuring that we actively listen to the voices and needs of those directly affected by policies and decisions impacting the LGBTIQ+ community is at the core of our work for equality and freedom of discrimination.
Our commitment to defend LGBTIQ+ rights is unwavering. From defending the bodily autonomy of transgender persons, the rights of rainbow families, or by putting forward a resolution which declared the EU an LGBTI Freedom Zone — we won’t stop until every member of the queer community is free.
