Slovak Republic Parliamentarians should not adopt amendments to the Slovak Constitution that undermine general human rights protections, or which weaken the human rights of specific groups in society. 🔽

We urge the Parliament of #Slovakia to reject a proposed constitutional amendment package that would ban adoption by same-sex couples, severely restrict children’s access to comprehensive sexuality education, and make legal gender recognition virtually impossible.

The European Commission must act: the Advocate General's Opinion on the infringement of Hungary's "child protection law", based in extensive legal research & with persuasive authority to the CJEU, indicates clearly that the AG believes there to be violations of the Treaties & EU law.

And this in a moment when leading donor governments have pulled support from LGBTI movements around the world marks a critical moment for LGBTI people. An underfunded movement faces an enormous loss of resources and visibility while an enormous coordinated attack targets trans & non-binary people.
Dozens of companies who sponsored Pride marches last year have pulled out this year, including:

Dyson
Nivea
Tiffany & Co.
Capital One
UPS
Disney
DoorDash
Live Nation
Nissan
Citi
