European Parliament set to declare EU an LBGTIQ freedom zone - Walsh

The European Parliament is set to call for the EU to be an LGBTIQ freedom zone.

The majority of MEPs are expected to back the move in a vote on a resolution today in the Parliament.

It’s in response to actions in Poland to declare certain parts of the country LGBTI-free zones. Hungary has also been criticised for discriminating against LGBTI people.

Maria Walsh, Fine Gael MEP for the Midlands North-West, says action is needed to stop Poland and Hungary from discriminating against gay people like her.
