Germany

In all my work in the parliament I will include as basis of my decisions that ALL people are equal.

Discrimination and attacks against LGBTI people are not compatible with liberal and European values!

I am in favour of the following measures:
– a European action plan against homophobia and transphobia
– a complete ban on so-called ‘conversion therapies’
– Europe-wide legal protection against discrimination on the basis of sexual identity
– Recognition of same-sex marriages with all rights and obligations in all EU member states (including adoption rights)

Shape the discourse towards a more LGBTQIA* sensible direction by supporting the following measures:

– self-determination of gender by abolishing gender on official documents where possible and giving the option to freely entering one’s own gender where it is needed
– allowing individuals to freely chose which and how many names they want without bureaucratic hurdles
– stop and criminilize non-essential gender affirming surgery on intersex* children and allowing and fully funding them fopr people capable of giving consent
– support the implementation of psychological care units

keep close in touch with community; take action for Europeanwide laws and defend

I dedicate my work to upholding, protecting and defending the values of the European Union. Inclusion, tolerance, justice, solidarity and non-discrimination are an integral part of our European way of life.

LGBTAQ* people must enjoy the same rights in all member states. EU and national directives must be binding and cover the grounds for multiple and intersectional discrimination, such as socio-economic status, age, ethnicity, origin, religion, sexual orientation and gender identity or disabilities.
Therefore, we demand among other things to develop a new LGBTIAQ* equality strategy for 2025-2030. In order to implement this, the Commission should ensure a department for an equal opportunities and diversity officer in the next term of office.

In line with my socialdemocratic colleagues I support the establishment of a working group focusing on LGBTQIA+rights and the strengtheining of the European Institute for Gender Equality. I further underline that the European Commission must answer to any violations of LGBTQIA+rights within member states without fail – as Member of Parliament, I will observe this intently.

As Free Democrats, we advocate for a Europe that celebrates diversity. We believe that same-sex marriages should be recognised in every EU member state and reproductive rights ensured across the whole Union.

There should be no exception for any member state or accession candidate when it comes to respecting the civil rights of LGBTQIA+ individuals. EU funds to countries violating LGTBQIA+-rights should be held back.

The fight for equality, against the LGBTI community’s marginalisation and the class struggle have always been a focus for me as an activist and artist. This will not change.

Fully committed to equality, tolerance and diversity!

I will deliver by continuously following these commitments in my work as MEP e.g. when working and voting on laws, positioning myself publicly etc.

I will keep in touch with people who are affected themselves in order to better understand their situation and take this into account in my political decisions.

I will act according to this pledge, focussing on
– Make sure the EU uses all its powers to hold Member States accountable for violations of the human rights of LGBTI people,…
– communicate about LGBTI rights and equality in a manner that brings people together and builds alliances and support, avoiding polarisation
– meaningfully engage with, and seek out the input and strategic guidance of LGBTI civil society,…

so, wie es bereits im "Come out 4 Europe pledge" -paper niedergeschrieben ist. Es ist traurig, dass diese Menschenrechte noch immer nicht als selbstverständlich angesehen werden. Wir werden uns dem Kampf um die Gleichstellung weiter widmen, und dies auf allen Ebenen.

I will make sure that LGBTQ+ RIGHTS WILL ALWAYS BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION no matter what the law is about. It needs to be a standard to make sure new laws don't effect the community's rights for the worse but be pushing them forwards.

Fight for LGBTI rights, equality and democracy across the EU and beyond, listen carefully to the LGBTI community and fight against discrimination of all kinds.

Ein Einsatz für queere Menschen bedeutet für mich, für Ihre Gleichberechtigung und Inklusion einzutreten. Oft werden sie Opfer von Diskriminierung, Vorurteilen und Gewalt. Mein Engagement soll ihnen dabei helfen, diese Barrieren abzubauen und eine tolerantere und gerechtere Gesellschaft zu schaffen.

I believe in complete equality and it is great if you love no matter which gender or sexual orientation.

Stand for it!

As a member of the intergroup and a fighter for fundamental freedoms and rule of law I will continue to fight to freeze EU funds to everyone not protecting the LGBTIQ community

I will include queer perspectives in my political focus of youth and famlily politics. Queer kids deserve equal rights. I will also use my knowledge and experience to prevent discrimination against the queer community in mobility so everyone can travel freely.

I am fighting and will continue to fight against all kinds of discriminations, whether it is on the basis of sexual orientation, gender, disability, religion or age. I support the queer community in the EU and beyond. I will continue to draw attention specifically to #DisabilityPride.

I am fully supportive of LGBTQIA+ community and their rights. If I am elected, I will actively work to protect their rights in parliament and beyond. I will collaborate with LGBTQIA+ organizations to ensure their voices are heard. Europe should lead in safeguarding the rights of LGBTQIA+ individuals and be a safe haven for everyone.

I stand behind LGBTQIA+ people with full conviction and wholeheartedly. If elected, I will proactively support and protect their rights in parliament and beyond by engaging LGBTQIA+ organisations and giving them a voice. Europe must be a strategic and operational leader for human rights of LGBTQIA+ people and a safe place for all people. I will fight for that.

I will defend every queer right ever fought for against right wing and conservative roll back attempts. I will also stand up for better support and financing of democracy and diversity projects all around Europe. And, of course, I will fight for every queers' human rights and equality.

Through finance and budget policies that focus on the LGBTIQ* and feminist issues! The fight for human rights is a queer and feminist fight and needs to be taken to the committees that decide over the EU-budget.

Queerpolitics is my native political field of expertise, so i will use my knowledge and experience to prevent discrimination against the queer community and foster understanding and mutual understanding between other communities.

I will stay organised in the LGBTQI Intergroup and check the acts on their benefits and drawbacks for the queen community. I will not support any law that discriminates against LGBTQI people.

I will counter the far-right backlash by protecting the rights already achieved as well as fighting for the remaining steps to fulfill the promise of LGBTIQ-freedom zones: Fundamental human rights. But I will also be happily stay in touch with the community and support their fights and use my position to amplify their demands and give them a voice in parliament.

By speeches in the European Parliament and in its committees.

I am dedicated to ensuring that these pledges remain at the forefront of my work as a Member of the European Parliament, advocating for acceptance and LGBTQI-friendly policies in all my endeavors.

I will keep my promise as a European election candidate to respect LGBTIQ rights simply because I am a trans* woman.

Zu den zentralen Maßnahmen gehören: Die Sicherstellung ungehinderter Demonstrationen und Zugänge zur Aufklärung über LGBTQ-Themen. Ebenso wichtig ist die Anerkennung queerer Ehen und Elternschaften in allen Mitgliedstaaten. Reproduktive Rechte wie Eizellspende und Leihmutterschaft sollen EU-weit respektiert werden. Asylgrund für “Verfolgung wegen sexueller Identität” und die Erweiterung der Antidiskriminierungsgesetze sind weitere Schritte. Einschränkungen der LGBTQ-Rechte müssen vermieden werden, und bei Verstößen sollten EU-Mittel an betroffene Länder eingefroren werden.

I will strive to ensure that these pledges are on the forefront of my work as a Member of the European Parliament, and to advocate for acceptance and LGBTI-friendly policies in all my work.

In cooperation with institutional actors and LGBTI-groups, I will advocate the protection of people from discrimination and attacks. LGBTI Human Rights need to be defended and protected across Europe. Member States need to adhere to the highest standards and be held accountable for violations and the refusal to implement existing legal protections. It is of utmost importance that LGBTI people’s lives are protected by laws and policies in the European Union and worldwide.

As an EU parliamentarian, I will defend the rights of LGBTIQ+ people. I will not turn a blind eye when these rights are called into question or even when hatred is stirred up. I will stand up. I will defend these rights for what they are: An integral part of a Europe of free people. I will unite where others divide.

Die Gleichbehandlung aller Menschen ist ein Grundsatz nach dem ich immer handeln werde.

If elected, I’ll be defending LGBTQIA* rights in the EU, working to combat discrimination and promote inclusive policies. I’ll ensure budget considerations include support for LGBTQIA*organizations and oppose any form of hatred. I’ll stand in solidarity with LGBTQIA* people, advocating for their rights in parliament and beyond, and actively opposing attacks. As part for the LGBTQIA* Community, I’ll firmly defend our rights for a diverse and respectful Europe.

I will at all times stand with the LGBTQI+ community. Trans rights are human rights and only intersectional queer feminism will be the solution to overcome the violence of patriarchy.

As I did in this mandate 2019-2024 I will strongly advocate for LGBTIQ+ rights. I want the EU to be a safe place, guaranteeing fundamental rights to everyone.

If elected, I am committed to upholding and promoting the indivisibility of human rights and democracy within the EU. I will ensure that policies and legislation are inclusive, non-discriminatory, and respectful of migrants, racialized people, religious minorities, and all other marginalized groups. I will work tirelessly to create an environment where everyone’s rights are protected and respected, fostering a society that embraces diversity and equality. Additionally, I will advocate for comprehensive measures to address discrimination and prejudice, promoting education and awareness

Attacks against rainbow families, online hate speech against LGBTI people, physical violence against trans people – as an ally I’m loudly and proudly defending LGBTI rights. The EU must ensure the protection of LGBTI people faced with rising attacks against our democracies, our fundamental rights and values in Europe. I’m fighting in the EU Parliament for an open and diverse Europe, where human rights are respected and upheld for everyone.

I stand behind LGBTQIA+ people with full conviction and wholeheartedly. If elected, I will proactively support and protect their rights in parliament and beyond by engaging LGBTQIA+ organisations and giving them a voice. Europe must be a strategic and operational leader for human rights of LGBTQIA+ people and a safe place for all people. I will fight for that.

If I am elected I will fight for the LGBTIQ+ Community. About all topics I will inform via my social media plattforms.

I am committed to uniform anti-discrimination guidelines that protect sexual orientation and gender identity. I want to reduce prejudice and promote understanding of LGBTQ+ issues through education and awareness-raising campaigns. I also strive for the recognition of same-sex partnerships throughout the EU and advocate for the rights and protection of transgender people. My aim is for the EU to be at the forefront of promoting diversity and inclusion and I will fight resolutely for the full recognition and protection of the queer community.

I will drive forward anti-discrimination legislation as well as welfare legislation to materially enhance the situation of the LGBTIQ* community.

We must stand together against far right attempts to deny minorities the most basic rights and we have to stand together against attempts of neoliberals to deny large portions of the population the material goods needed to live a good life.

Human rights are based on equal rights for everyone. This applies to discrimination based on sexual orientation & gender identity as well as discrimination against women, indigenous peoples, migrants, minorities, people w/ disabilities or racial & religious discrimination.
The principles of equality and non-discrimination are fundamental to my human rights work, including in my current position as Vice Chair of the Subcommittee on Human Rights. I look forward to continuing to work with LGBTI civil society in the coming legislative session to defend and protect equal human rights worldwide.

Since I started being active in the party I fought for queer rights. It is really important for me to listen to the people, to NGOs and to fight for a better life together. I want to participate in making the European Union a safer space for queer people and marginalised people in general. I stand for human rights in the political field and on the streets.

I will actively encourage legislation that protects the rights of LGBTI people. I will defend the rights of LGBTI people against legislation seeking to curb them.

I will be loud, proud and out in the face of anyone trying to stop me from advocating for LGBTI rights, whether it is on the streets or in parliaments.

If elected, I will dedicate myself wholeheartedly to upholding and defending the fundamental rights of LGBTIQ* individuals. Everyone deserves to be loved and treated equally, and I will work tirelessly to ensure that LGBTIQ*-phobia is combated at every level, advocating for inclusive policies and support systems across the European Union. Together, we will strive for a Europe that recognizes and celebrates the diversity of sexual and gender identities as inherent to our shared values.

If elected and able to continue my work on the budgetary committee, I want to continuously make sure that the protection and promotion of LGBTI rights is being streamlined into all policy areas, including budgetary policy. I will both fight for sufficient funding for LGBTI organisations from the European level, as well as the freezing of EU-funds to Member states that infringe upon LGBTI rights through national policies. In addition, I will stand up against any form of hatred directed at LGBTI people, be that in plenary debates, in public discussion formats or alongside our wonderful colourful community at Pride marches all over Europe.
