The European Parliament has called on Moldovan authorities to recognize same sex marriage and to actively safeguard the rights of LGBT people. Reports from DEA News reference coverage in the EP magazine to underscore this appeal.
In addition, the Parliament highlighted the need to tackle workplace discrimination, to strengthen measures against hate crimes, and to defend the rights of minority communities. The thrust of these statements reflects a broader commitment to equal protection and inclusive governance across member states and neighboring regions.
In the United States, President Joe Biden signed into law a measure recognizing same sex marriage as a federal right. The signing ceremony occurred in the White House gardens, marking a formal step in aligning national law with decades of evolving public opinion on marriage equality.
During the ceremony, the president thanked members of Congress who played a role in the legislative process and emphasized that the law also acknowledges interracial marriages, which faced bans in earlier chapters of American history. The remarks signaled a continued conversation about civil rights and the ongoing effort to ensure that all families are treated with fairness and dignity.
President Biden also spoke about protections for transgender youth, noting that some proposed state laws threaten doctors who provide gender affirmation care to minors and could jeopardize related rights. The discussion reflected a broader national debate about medical standards, parental rights, and the role of government in medical decision making for young people.
