More violence, more equality: What’s the current state of LGBTQ rights in Europe?


Recommended Posts

On this year's International Day against Homophobia and Transphobia, Euronews Culture assesses the current state of LGBTQ rights across European countries.

 

Anti-LGBTQ violence is here, it’s everywhere, and it isn’t going away any time soon — at least, that’s the latest assessment made by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, in a statement released on the eve of the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia (IDAHOT), which the world celebrates on 17 May.

 

In a stinging condemnation of enduring global anti-LGBTQ prejudice, the UN chief urged countries to end the criminalisation and systemic oppression of queer people.

"Being yourself should never be a crime," Guterres stated. "We cannot and will not move backwards."

i did not know that it was criminal to be queer in europe. other countries that are usually never talked about it is though. 

 

yet there is little to no talk about those places. shoot they even have different advertising than the west does.

Times have changed since I was growing up. 

 

Not long before it will be a "thing" that kids are scared to come out of the closet and declare themselves as being straight.:coffee1:
