"We need to embrace diversity and the richness it brings to all of us and to our societies. Throughout my time in the European Parliament, I have dedicated time to promote and uphold the rights of LGBT+ community. In the upcoming mandate, it will be especially important to promote the adoption of the legislation recognizing parenthood all over Europe and creating a European certificate of parenthood. A family in one EU Member State is a family everywhere, period." www.sirpapietikainen.net

“I stand for tolerance and openness in our society. Everyone should be allowed to live and love as they wish and have the right to start a family, regardless of their sexual orientation. This is fundamental to me.”

“I believe in a Europe of equality and opportunity. It is crucial that the MEPs who make up the next European Parliament support legislation that removes discrimination in Europe, including for LGBT+ people. We must recognise the intrinsic human dignity of every individual person. Barriers to participation and opportunity should not be acceptable. We still hear too many disturbing stories of people who are LGBT+ being denied opportunities or attacked on our streets or harassed online because of their identity and sexual orientation” www.finegael.ie

"As Vice-President of the European Parliament’s LGBTI Interest Group and representative of LGBTI rights for the EPP group, protecting and advancing the rights of the LGBTI+ community has been one of my top priorities as an MEP. I have advocated for recognition of same-sex marriages in all European countries. I have worked to deliver improved protections for Rainbow Families and secure rights for LGBTI+ children. I consistently call for an EU-wide ban on conversion therapy. Continuing my work on the practices and protections related to the rights of Transgender people will be one of my top priorities."

‘I believe in an inclusive Europe where equal treatment and protection are self-evident for everyone, regardless of gender, origin, disability, sexual orientation, or religion. That is why I am committed to ensuring that all Member States mutually recognise same-sex partnerships, including the parental authority for their children. I stand for a Europe that truly cares about its citizens.’

Recognise rainbow families all across the EU – everything else is wrong. We need to make sure that everyone has the possibility to form a family.

Take action against EU member states who violates the rights of LGBT+ persons. In my Europe, there are no LGBTQ-free zones. Everyone should be free to be who they are, wherever you live in Europe.

It is time to strengthen our efforts to fight discrimination against LGBT+ person across all EU member states. And also high tome for the European Union to stand up for our values and for LGBT+ rights all over the world. EU should always be clear in this in all international relations. A first step would be to cut support for governments who oppress LGBT+ persons.

Europe should be the most free region for LGBT people, for a true freedom of movement for all families and be a voice for freedom in the world. LGBT rights are human rights and need to be treated as such in our foreign policy.

Constituency: Cyprus
Inclusive societies are one of my main priorities and one of the biggest challenges we have to face on a European level in the upcoming years. A strong European Union depends on a strong Democracy. And a strong Democracy depends on strong societies which can only be safeguarded when all human beings can feel safe and free.
