"Madam President, Commissioner, the proposal to widen the scope of the anti-discrimination directive is very interesting; it is very important that it is unshackled in this sense.
I am proud to form part of Parliament’s Intergroup on LGBT rights and to be an MEP who fights against homophobia. Hate, intolerance, humiliation, the use of sexist language, verbal and physical violence, dismissals at work, and discrimination should be combated with education, freedom of expression, freedom to meet, with tolerance, respect and equal treatment.
One person every two days dies in the world through actions linked with homophobia; over 70 countries in the world still persecute homosexuals and condemn them to death. Europe, therefore, must continue down this route of protecting rights and fighting discrimination against LGBT people. Lastly, all our support goes out especially to those who defend their rights."@en1
