Why does it matter with European parties?

Between 22-25 May 2014, EU citizens decide who will represent them in the European Parliament.

ILGA-Europe's Come Out campaign aims to mobilise support for human rights and LGBTI equality among the candidates for the next European Parliament and European Commission, and to energise its member organisations and individuals across Europe to vote.

ILGA-Europe approached all the candidates for the EP elections 2014 and invited them to sign the 10 point Come Out 2014 European Election Pledge. The Pledge summarises the key issues that ILGA-Europe want to see advanced at the European Union level over the period 2014-2019.

By the 26 March 2014 189 candidates had signed the pledge.
