The motion

That the Parliament notes that 17 May marks the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia (IDAHOBIT); believes that IDAHOBIT marks a global day of recognition of diversity, inclusion and sexual orientation; notes that it allows for reflection and contemplation and highlights the ongoing violence and discrimination experienced by LGBT+ people throughout the world; notes that the day is recognised in more than 130 countries, including 37 where same-sex relationships are illegal; condemns the ongoing oppression of LGBT+ people throughout the world, and supports IDAHOBIT, which it sees as a prominent, global campaign that unifies people towards inclusion and equality.
