"This is not just about Budapest. This is about all of us. About what kind of Europe we choose to build and protect." 🏳‍🌈🇪🇺🇭🇺 Vice-President @nicustefanuta proudly represented the European Parliament at Budapest Pride today. Read more: europa.eu/!9qtTXJ

I call on the Hungarian authorities to allow the Budapest Pride to go ahead. Without fear of any criminal or administrative sanctions against the organisers or participants. To the LGBTIQ+ community in Hungary and beyond: I will always be your ally.

@BillboardChris Welcome to the European Parliament, where trans people work with respect and dignity. We stand firm in defending the right of every trans person to live authentically, and we will always advocate for access to the healthcare trans children need. Come and meet happy trans people!

I’m going to be visiting Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany in just over a week’s time. I have many meetings lined up at the European Parliament in Brussels, but if you are connected to and can help arrange meetings for me with any other policymakers in these countries, I would be most grateful. Thank you! Children cannot consent to puberty blockers!

We stand by our transgender siblings. Now and forever.

No-one: Greek lesbians:

We were there when the Greek parliament voted to legalize same-sex marriage, a vote for equal rights. An amazing day for the LGBTQ+ movement in Greece. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🇬🇷

Wonderful news from 🇬🇷! Yesterday night, the parliament in Greece adopted the Marriage Equality Bill. ✅️ This new law allows same-sex couples to get married, making Greece the first Christian Orthodox country to adopt marriage equality.
