lpv:translated text	"Madam President, in my view, the rights of LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) people are a much more important subject for discussion in the European Parliament than milk quotas, with reference to Astrid Lulling’s point of order yesterday. Mr Busuttil, we definitely must be emotional! People in the European Union are being abused and unfairly treated every day, simply because of who they love or who they are. They are being oppressed, discriminated against, mistreated and even killed. It is tragic that in 2012, we have not made more progress on this issue in Europe. An important discrimination directive is cluttering up the drawers in the Council’s desk because there is opposition to the issue of LGBT people’s rights within the Council. Hungary has a new constitution which states that marriage is the prerogative of a man and a woman. In Lithuania and Latvia, there is a proposal for legislation banning information on homosexuality. One of the simplest words to understand and one of the best words in the language is the word ‘family’. In the EU, we have the free movement of citizens, including families, but not for everyone. The EU’s definition of a family is not in line with reality. That is highly deplorable, because one of the fundamental pillars of EU cooperation is human rights and this includes the rights of LGBT people. We must put our own house in order."@en1
