UN Free & Equal
@free_equal
UN Free & Equal is a @UN @UNHumanRights initiative for lesbian, gay, bi, trans, intersex and queer equality #LGBTIQ+
Human rights belong to everyone – no exceptions! #LGBTIQ+

Many #intersex kids are forced into medically unnecessary surgeries and treatments that cause terrible physical, psychological and emotional pain, violating their rights. Intersex bodies don't need fixing!
Same-sex couples around the world often have to hide their relationships in public, fearing discrimination and violence. Join us in making a safer world for everyone! #LoveIsLove

A reminder from @UN that love is too beautiful to hate! #LoveIsLove
No one should be afraid to be themselves in public, #LGBTIQ+ people included. Everyone should be able to wear their colours with Pride. #CelebrateDiversity #LoveIsLove
Love comes in many forms — let’s celebrate them all! #LoveIsLove

Being an ally is not something you are, it’s something you do! Tell us in the comments how you are an ally to the #LGBTIQ+ people in your life.
Love is a family value! All children – including #LGBTIQ+ kids – thrive when they get love and support from their families.
No one should be afraid to be themselves in public, including those who don’t conform to gender norms. #LGBTIQ+

🇫🇮Minister @sannigrahn delivered a joint statement on behalf of the #UNLGBTICoreGroup during #HLPF: "Inclusive, gender-responsive, and targeted financing is essential to ensure that marginalized groups, including LGBTI persons, are not excluded from the development policies"
The term “non-binary” includes: - People who are not exclusively men or women - People who identify as two or more genders - People who identify as having no gender #NonBinary #InternationalNonBinaryDay #LGBTIQ
Everyone deserves a loving home where they can be themselves - #LGBTIQ+ kids included!

Diverse identities; the same human rights. #LGBTIQ+ #Equality
We share the European Court of Human Rights @ECHR_CEDH judgement that Swiss court violated right of Caster Semenya @MightyCaster to a fair trial in her legal battle over eligibility rules for women’s athletics competitions. States must fully examine allegations of human rights…
Equality demands justice & protection for all people, everywhere! #LGBTIQ+ #Equality
#Intersex people are born with sex characteristics that don’t fit typical definitions of male and female bodies.
Living life openly as your true self is something most people take for granted, but for #trans people this can be very dangerous. Let’s create a world where everyone is safe to be themselves – trans people included! #LGBTIQ+
No one should be afraid to be themselves in public, including those who don’t conform to gender norms. #LGBTIQ+ #ClothesHaveNoGender
From grassroots clubs to international stadiums, #LGBTIQ+ athletes belong at every level.
