Vitoria (EFE).- Euskadi claimed the rights of the LGTBIQ+ collective on the International Day for Sexual Liberation and Collective Pride
It has done so with a firm claim for the rights of this LGTBIQ+ collective.
Also with a call to “act and denounce hate speech and human rights violations loudly.”
The Basque Government service to attend to the LGTBIQ+ collective, Berdindu, has warned that “homophobic attacks are still present”.
In this regard, he recalled those that occurred recently in Villabona and Ortuella.
However, Berdindu has assessed, “it is not all bad news” because this year Congress has approved the so-called “trans law” that allows sex to be changed in the registry without the need for medical reports and punishes the so-called “conversion therapies” aimed at people who are not heterosexual.
The LGTBIQ+ observatory remembers the murdered
A rule that the Behatokia LGTBI+ Basque Observatory sees as being in danger if a right-wing government supported by the extreme right is formed in Spain, because it could repeal the text.
Faced with this threat, he has called for a Basque LGTBI+ law so that these rights are guaranteed in the Basque Country.

This observatory made up of different organizations has also denounced the “lack of interest” of the Prosecutor’s Office to clarify the murders of at least five gays in Bilbao.
They were allegedly committed by a man who contacted them through dating apps and then drugged them to rob them.
Declarations have been signed in the three capitals to encourage “loudly denouncing hate speech and situations of violation of human rights.”
The parties also support the LGTBIQ+ collective
Political parties have also expressed their support for LGTBIQ+ claims.
In the PNV, parliamentarian Iñigo Iturrate has stressed that his formation “claims diversity, freedom and the human rights of all people.”
EH Bildu has assured that “it will not allow a step back” in this area.
The PSE-EE group has indicated that it supports the LGTBI+ collective in its “demand to live and be equally free, without fear”.
Podemos Euskadi has called for a “common front” in defense of the rights and against the attacks suffered by this group.
For its part, the Basque PP has replicated the declaration of the national PP “in defense of freedom, the dignity of the human being and for the right of all to live as we wish”. EFE
