Arte: LGBTQI+ rights across Europe – one step forward, one step back

The beginning of 2024 brought with it new rights for gay couples in Estonia after it became the 15th EU country to legalise same-sex marriage. But although rights for LGBTQI+ people in Europe may look good on paper, it’s a different story on the ground. Discrimination is still rife and some EU governments are even pushing an anti-LGBTQI+ message.

This weekly News programme is produced by the Franco-German broadcaster ARTE and made available in 8 languages through a European media partnership formed by El País (ES), Gazeta Wyborcza (PL), Internazionale (IT), Kathimerini (GR), Le Soir (BE), Telex (HU) in coordination with ARTE. The project has been made possible with EU funding within the framework of the „European Media Platforms” preparatory action.
