Canada, Europeans and Brazil, Not U.S., Issue Statement Backing LGBTQ Rights
- On June 28, 2025, government officials from Canada, Australia, Brazil, and multiple European nations released a joint declaration endorsing LGBTQI rights in observance of Pride Day.
- The statement followed growing concerns about rising hate speech and discrimination, backlash against LGBTQI rights, and a controversial Hungarian law banning Pride marches passed in March.
- Tens of thousands protested in Budapest against the law while the statement's backers, including Spain, Belgium, Colombia, and Ireland, affirmed they speak and act as one to defend LGBTQI rights.
- The statement emphasized opposition to any acts of violence, legal persecution, social marginalization, or bias against LGBTQI individuals, highlighting that such actions violate human rights amid global attempts to undermine their rights.
- The United States, under President Donald Trump, who reversed prior gay rights policies and expelled transgender service members, was notably absent from the statement's signatories, reflecting a shift in its international stance.
