علم المثليين الجنسيين يثير أزمة في يورو 2020... ماذا حصل؟

وقد اتخذت كل من المجر وروسيا وأذربيجان إجراءات للحد من حقوق المثليين. فهي لا تسمح للمثليين المرتبطين بعلاقة الإقدام على الزواج أو تبني الأطفال، كما فرضت قيودًا على الجهود الرامية لتوفير معلومات حول المثلية الجنسية، وبخاصة لفئة الشباب.

Hi @EURO2020 - What’s up with this? Why are you continuing picking BAKU? Surely they are not fit to host #EURO2020 games, if you can’t even wave the rainbow flag at games! #BoycottBaku #DENCZE #Denmark #LGBT pic.twitter.com/XpZSMKxgSe

Why is anyone surprised by this? LGBT+ folks in Azerbaijan are not protected against discrimination. Taking a flag away is perfectly legal there, as is the police arresting people under false pretenses and torturing prisoners. This is not a new problemhttps://t.co/gO8fVuotPs
