Let’s end the year by celebrating two monumental victories for the LGBTQ+ community in Europe!
Poland: The European Court of Human Rights has spoken out and condemned Poland for denying recognition and protection to same-sex couples. This landmark decision dictates that European countries must provide legal frameworks for equal treatment of same-sex and heterosexual couples.
Norway: Norway has criminalized conversion therapy, marking a historic moment in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights. This ban applies to all age groups and methods and confirms that being LGBTIQ+ is not a condition that needs to be “cured”.
As we say goodbye to 2023, may this momentum accompany us into the new year as we continue to fight together for a more inclusive world.
