Human rights are universal and non-negotiable.
They belong to all of us, as affirmed by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

It's simple. People should be free to love and be loved for who they are. Hungarian Parliament’s decision to pass anti-LGBTQIA+ law is appalling. Freedom of expression & peaceful assembly are human rights. As a @UN_HRC member, 🇮🇸 will always stand up for LGBTQIA+ rights 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
