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

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."

No irrational fear of the alphabet people, just sick of hearing about them and their right's and pride. It's LGBTQIA+ now I think

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

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:
