Event report

In the context of the Future Europe — LGBT+ rights project in the EU, 3 webinars have been produced and run, based on citizens’ answers to the questions in the survey “9 questions on LGBT+ rights in the EU”. The Webinars include experts and NGOs. The webinar ‘LGBT+ Discrimination in the EU’ has progressed as planned and has had satisfactory participation. During webinar, the preliminary results of the study were presented and discussed by the experts directly from the study in Copenhagen. During the webinar, participants could ask questions through the Mentimeter programme. Webinar lasted 1 hour and covered 3 of the 9 questions in the study, which took place on Monday 6 December 2021 from 16.00 to 17.00. Questions/statements for presentation and discussion: 1) Member States must decide whether discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression is illegal. 2) It is the EU’s duty to ensure equal treatment of all citizens in all Member States — including LGBT+ people. 3) The EU must protect individuals from, for example, hate crime. Member States must be required to carry out investigations which may lead to the punishment of those responsible. Contributing: Casper Øhlers, Conservative Youth. Sara Julie Sørensen, Radical Youth.
