Equality, participation and non-discrimination are at the heart of democracy. Yet across the world, too many LGBTIQ+ persons still face violence, discrimination, hate speech and stigmatisation simply for being who they are.

In more than 65 countries, consensual same-sex relations remain criminalised. Where discrimination persists, democracy cannot fully thrive. The EU remains committed to defending the human rights of all LGBTIQ+ persons and to promoting inclusive and democratic societies for all.

RT @jnbarrot: Pendant plusieurs décennies, nous avons vécu avec la certitude d'une avancée irréversible des droits LGBT. Un peu partout sur la planète, on abrogeait les lois pénalisant les relations homosexuelles. Depuis 10 ans, la situation a basculé. Une poussée conservatrice gagne la plupart des régions du monde.

Vous pouvez compter sur la France : elle oeuvre, et oeuvrera toujours pour que l'agenda des droits humains avance. Elle le fait au niveau de l'Union européenne, elle le fait aux Nations unies, où elle porte le projet de faire adopter au Conseil des droits de l'homme une résolution interdisant aux États de criminaliser les personnes LGBT+.

Nous continuerons d'agir pour la dépénalisation universelle de l'homosexualité et le plein respect des droits, de TOUS les droits.
