"The Pride parade reminds us that while Estonia has had marriage equality for two years, we must continue to work toward ensuring the safety, freedom of expression, and full inclusion of LGBTIQ+ individuals in our society," Minister Tsahkna emphasized. "The right to love is a human right, and no one should experience discrimination, bullying, exclusion, or violence because of their gender identity or sexual orientation."
Estonia remains firmly committed to protecting the rights of sexual minorities both at home and internationally. Since 2016, Estonia has been part of the Equal Rights Coalition, a global initiative focused on protecting LGBTQI+ rights. "We continue working to ensure that all people can live authentically, with dignity and security, in a free and equal society," said Minister Tsahkna.
