A long way to go for LGBTI equality – FRA [2020]

FRA – European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights:

“Imagine being afraid to hold your loved one’s hand in public, skipping office banter to avoid divulging with whom you share your life, choosing the long way home to side-step potentially hostile ground, or enduring ridicule every time you show your personal identification. In the year 2020, these remain realities for all too many lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and intersex people across the European Union and beyond. (…) The results show little progress over the past seven years. (…) The results make clear that trans and intersex people face an even more uphill struggle. And the young? The survey gives reason for both concern and cautious optimism. Participants aged 15 to 17 experienced more harassment than their older peers. Yet they also say they see more individuals standing up for LGBTI people at school – and hear more talk of LGBTI issues in educational settings.”
