The Council of Europe is urging Hungary to stop rolling back LGBTQ rights. 🌈⚖️

Banning Pride marches, erasing gender identity, and expanding surveillance powers is not what democracy looks like.

➡️ Freedom. Dignity. Equality. Always. ✊🏼✊🏾

We welcome the Italian Constitutional Court’s ruling affirming the right of children born through medically assisted reproduction abroad to have both mothers legally recognised. With governments fail to protect, or weaponising the law against #LGBTI people, we are glad to see courts upholding rights

Godt nok en pinlig omgang at #dkpol ikke for længst er skredet til handling med et forbud mod #lgbti omvendelsesterapi. En helt uacceptabel form for social kontrol www.dr.dk/nyheder/indl...
Forsker om manglende forbud mod omvendelsesterapi: Regeringen frygter at blive kaldt 'woke'
Regeringen igangsatte sidste år en undersøgelse af muligheden for et forbud, men siden er intet sket.
