When democracy and human rights are being attacked in the EU, I will continue to fight for equal treatment and the right of everyone to live full and free lives, regardless of who you are, where you live or who you love. Protecting and supporting the rights of LGBTI persons is a top priority for me as a candidate for the European Parliament. If elected, I will continue my work to strengthen EU protection against discrimination on all grounds, ensure the full enjoyment of family rights for rainbow families across the EU and combat all hate speech and hate crime against LGBTI persons.
