European Parliament to declare EU gay-friendly

The entire European Union should be declared an “LGBTIQ Freedom Zone”, according to a resolution being debated in the European Parliament. The move comes in reaction to worrying stories of restrictions on gay rights in Poland where a number of towns have branded themselves “LGBTI-free zones”. Earlier this week the French Europe Minister on a visit to Poland said he had been told he was not welcome in those parts of the country because he is gay. Green MEP, Grace O'Sullivan, is one of those who signed the rainbow resolution. She says it sends a strong, positive message out across the EU.
