Ramses Noffels, President of Trainbow Belgium tells us about a vibrant annual conference that brings together LGBT+ staff from railway companies across Europe.

Two days after a joyful Equality March in the Polish city of Gorzów Wielkopolski, organiser and activist Monika Drubkowska came to work only to find she suddenly had no job anymore. 

As we start a week of hearings of the Commissioners-designate, ILGA-Europe is urging all incoming Commissioners and President Ursula von der Leyen to support the introduction and implementation of comprehensive and robust LGBTI equality strategy.

LGBTQIA+ people recognise that the same forces that attack our communities are also the ones who are exhausting the planet, say Queers4ClimateNL.

As a high-level conference on LGBTI equality gets underway in Brussels, we find ourselves at a critical crossroads for the European project, says ILGA-Europe's Communications Director Brian Finnegan:

It’s the largest first Pride that I have ever seen. Later we hear that we were 3000 participants!

This week, Iranti, Intersex South Africa, and the African Center for Migration and Society in partnership with ILGA-Europe brought a dialogue together with South African government.

As the Polish LGBTI community faces political demonisation and violent attacks, it’s time for our leaders to strategically put people first.

“If we make it ten steps, it will be a successful parade.” These are not the words that most Pride March organisers would ever want to say – but on the night before the 9^th Middle Eastern Technical University Pride March, it was one we as the Pride organisers had to remind ourselves.
