lpv:translated text	"Madam President, throughout its life, the European Union has been at the forefront of the fight for democracy, minorities and human rights. That is why we should also adopt this resolution on the fight against homophobia. It is unacceptable for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people to face discrimination on the grounds of their sexuality, yet it is still happening: violence, abuse and humiliation on the grounds of sexual orientation take place in Europe every day. As politicians and as Europeans, we must take the lead in ending discrimination against homosexuals. Only if we actively fight discrimination can we really expect this to filter out into the rest of society. This summer, a law will be passed in Denmark allowing homosexuals to marry in church. This is one more step away from discrimination and towards equal treatment. The European Union must continue to be a progressive frontrunner in the fight for the values on which we want our society and our community to be based."@en1
