Leading LGBT campaigner, Labour’s Michael Cashman, who co-chairs the European Parliament’s LGBT Intergroup, said “This report is a great piece of work, and I am really proud as a UK MEP that Scotland is the only area in Europe that has enacted legislation protecting both trans and intersex people against bias-motivated violence.
“However, this report must become an impulse for real change on the ground, legal commitments, and a binding strategy for LGBT rights in the EU. This requires decisive political leadership, and we must seize this opportunity to end the everyday discrimination experienced by trans and intersex people in the EU. I turn to the European Commission, and hope it will wait no longer to issue proposals in this direction.”
