在这一天,欧盟与世界各地数以百万计的人民共同庆祝国际不再恐同日,值此机会,欧盟提醒各国政府有义务促进普遍人权,并确保每个人无论其性别认同或性取向如何,均享有这些权利而不受歧视。
近年来,全世界在推动男女同性恋、双性恋、跨性别者和双性恋(统称LGBTI)享有所有人权上取得了显著进步。一些国家规定同性恋无罪,另一些国家已经颁布了新的法规以保护个人性取向和性别认同。如果没有那些勇敢的活动家积极致力于推动LGBTI人士的平等权利,这些变化都不可能发生。
全球还有许多地方仍然存在巨大障碍。 对LGBTI人士的歧视和暴力仍然普遍存在。超过70个国家将同性关系列为刑事罪行,甚至在有些国家还可能判处死刑。 欧盟以最强烈的措辞谴责对LGBTI个人的歧视和暴力行为。
欧盟在世界各地资助项目,旨在提高LGBTI组织的知名度和认可度,加强他们与当局的对话以改变法律,消除恐同症和保护LGBTI人士免受暴力侵害,并向LGBTI人士和民间社会组织提供培训、信息和法律支持等。
2016年6月,欧盟理事会首次通过了关于LGBTI平等的决议,回应了欧洲委员会关于这个问题的行动计划。欧盟将继续与所有合作伙伴们一起,维护全人类的平等和尊严,不论其性取向和性别认同。

Declaration by the High Representative, Federica Mogherini, on
behalf of the EU on the occasion of the International Day Against
Homophobia, Transphobia And Biphobia, 17 May 2017
On this day, together with millions of people around the world,
the EU celebrates the International Day against Homophobia, Transphobia
and Biphobia. It is a timely opportunity to remind Governments of their
obligation to promote the universality of human rights and ensure that
everyone, regardless of their gender identity or sexual orientation
enjoys these rights without discrimination.
In recent years,
remarkable progress has been made around the world to advance the
enjoyment of all human rights by lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and
Intersex persons (LGBTI). Several countries have decriminalised
homosexuality and others have enacted new statutes to protect
individuals on the basis of their sexual orientation and gender
identity. None of these changes could have happened without the
dedication of courageous activists working to advance equal rights for
LGBTI persons.
Great obstacles remain in many places around the
globe. Discrimination and violence against LGBTI persons is still
widespread. Engaging in same-sex relations is considered a crime in more
than 70 countries and could even lead to the death penalty in some. The
EU condemns discrimination and violence against LGBTI individuals in
the strongest possible terms.
The EU is funding projects
worldwide aimed at improving LGBTI organisations' visibility and
acceptance, enhancing their dialogue with authorities to change laws,
combating homophobia, and protecting LGBTI persons from violence.
Support is also given to training, information and legal support to
LGBTI persons and civil society organisations.
In June 2016, the
Council adopted for the first time conclusions on LGBTI equality
responding to the Commission's List of Actions on this issue. The EU
will continue working with all partners to advance the human rights of
all people regardless of their sexual orientation and gender identity.
