ILGA Europe: A quarter of elected European Parliament committed to LGBTI equality
189 (25%) newly elected members of the 751-seat European Parliament have signed ILGA-Europe’s European Elections 2014 Come Out Pledge, committing themselves to advancing human rights and LGBTI equality over the next five years.
Since the launch of the Come Out campaign in January, ILGA-Europe and its members reached out to candidates in all EU countries, asking them to support our 10-point pledge. In total, 1,194 candidates from all 28 EU Member States adhered to ILGA-Europe’s ten priorities on LGBTI rights for the next European Parliament.
