Two weeks ago, you remember we celebrated as Portugal voted [7] to introduce self-determination and protection for intersex kids. 

The reform provides everyone with one of the most basic fundamental rights, the right to be trusted to know who they are.

Now, there’s a risk that a presidential veto could derail the progress that LGBTI activists have worked for years to secure.

ILGA-Europe, TGEU, OII Europe, our partners and allies say in unison – don’t turn back the clock!

• We have written directly to President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, read our joint letter in full here [8]. 

• The Portuguese LGBTI movement have also urged [9] the president to sign this bill into law without delay - and make history.
