schneefinkA few days ago naye linked to a beautiful speech by UN Secretary-General Ban-ki Moon in which he speaks out against discrimination of LGBT people:
(I figured out how embedding works, yay!)
At almost the same time, St. Petersburg passed a law that bans displays of homosexuality in public where it might affect children. The law was passed to protect children, but in no way against homosexuals. Sure.
At least the EU seems to be getting the message that there's a problem they should do something against, and while it's very late to only start collecting information, at least it's something? They started the European LGBT Survey: "The European Union is keen to hear about your experiences – make your experience count. To support equal treatment legislation and policy making, the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) has launched an EU-wide LGBT survey, with a questionnaire that is available online and awaits the opinions of lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans people over the age of 18 living in the European Union or Croatia."
It takes 15-20 minutes to fill out. The questions are interesting, and I'm very curious about the results.
