The European Parliament has declared the European Union an LGBTIQ freedom zone in retaliation against Polish politicians labelling themselves as ‘LGBT ideology free zones’.
The resolution states that LGBTIQ people in Europe have the right to enjoy the freedom to publicly show their sexual orientation without discrimination.
Four hundred and ninety two members of the European Parliament supported the resolution, one hundred and forty one voted against, and forty six abstained.
Poland has increased anti LGBTIQ policies in recent years with plans to close a loophole that allows same-sex couples to adopt.
