Queering The European Union

     Perhaps becoming more like Europe and embracing their modern degeneration of “Western Civilization” may not be such a good idea if you aren’t down with elevating “LGBTIQ+” people to “more equal than others” status. Case in point is the European Commission’s “LGBTIQ+ equality strategy 2026 – 2030”.

“The strategy aims to mobilise a collective commitment across all levels of governance to safeguard fun-damental rights and the values of equality and non-discrimination, enshrined in the Charter of Fundamental Rights and binding on all Member States as primary EU law. It also sets a framework that requires active engagement and cooperation from the European Parliament, Council, Member States, and civil society, to ensure its successful implementation.

“Implementation   of this strategy   will follow a   dual approach of   targeted measures and   strengthened equality mainstreaming across different policy areas. This strategy, as its predecessor, will use intersec-tionality as a cross-cutting principle. It will address how the combination of sexual orientation, gender iden-tity/expression and sex characteristics with other personal characteristics or identities, such as sex, racial or ethnic origin, religion or belief, disability and age, contributes to unique experiences of discrimination. In this way, it complements existing and upcoming EU initiatives to promote equality for all(8). Furthermore, the strategy takes into account how geographic isolation can further compound these situations of vulnerability.”

     Let’s look at some of these “strategic objectives”.

“Trans, non-binary and intersex people also continue to face severe violations of their bodily autonomy: some EU Member States still impose surgical or medical intervention requirements for legal gender recogni-tion.

“…

“To help Member   States ban conversion   practices, the Commission   will publish a   study analysing the nature, prevalence and impact of these practices on LGBTIQ+ people. To facilitate coordinated action, the Commission will also promote structured dialogue on the topic, in particular through the expert group on LGBTIQ+ equality, under the High-Level Group on non-discrimination, equality, and diversity.”

     This is basically California’s ban “conversion therapy” while also declaring self-mutilation to be a human right.

“In 2021, the Commission proposed that the Council decides to include hate speech and hate crime in the list of ‘EU crimes’ under Article 83(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). Such Council Decision would provide the legal basis for secondary legislation that harmonises criminal law definitions of hate offences on grounds not currently provided for under relevant EU law.

Given the absence of progress on such a Council Decision, the Commission is considering a legislative ini-tiative based on the existing areas of crime covered by Article 83(1) of TFEU to harmonise the definition of hate offences committed online. A comprehensive definition of hate offences at EU level was also one of the key recommendations adopted by those participating in the 2024 European Citizens Panel on tackling hatred in society. The Commission is committed to following up these recommendations.”

     Restrictions on free speech to the point of criminalization and targeted action? No stranger to the Europeans!

“LGBTIQ+ youth often face multiple forms of   discrimination, experience prejudice,   hate crimes and   are particularly vulnerable   to sexual abuse”

     Yup, they’re goin’ after the kids.

“It encourages Member States to ensure that all children, in all their diversity, can enjoy the same rights of access to and benefit from protection across all of their territories. All children are to be protected, supported and empowered by promoting inclusive, coordinated and systemic approaches within national child protection systems and responding to the specific vulnerabilities.”

     Remember, these children are being given the same “right” to bodily mutilate themselves as adults.   It also gives them the same right to sexual freedom and expression as adults.

     This should be beyond the pale, yet isn’t. Not in Europe at least.

“The online world offers important opportunities for LGBTIQ+ people. Social media and digital platforms are key spaces for self-expression, identity, and a create a sense of community. They are vehicles to amplify LGBTIQ+ voices, build support networks, and mobilise for equal rights, especially for young people and those in less accepting environments.

“Yet, online hate speech and harassment create a hostile digital environment for LGBTIQ+ people, affecting their safety, well-being and freedom of expression and contributing to a climate of fear and exclusion.

“…

“The Directive on   combating violence against   women and domestic   violence criminalises for   the first time   cyber incitement to   violence or hatred   based on gender.   Once implemented in   the national laws   of Member States(27), this will ensure common protection against gender-based online hate speech in the EU. Furthermore, the Directive criminalises the most widespread forms of gender-based violence online, namely non-consensual sharing of intimate or manipulated material, cyber stalking and cyber harassment.

“The Digital   Services Act sets   out obligations for   providers of hosting   services to address   illegal content online, including incitement to hate or discrimination, including against LGBTIQ+ people. Also, providers of very large online platforms and search engines are obliged to assess and mitigate the systemic risks stem-ming from their services, including the impact inter alia on the rights to human dignity and non-discrimina-tion, negative effects related to gender-based violence and serious negative consequences to the person’s physical and mental   well-being. The Commission,   together with the   competent national authorities, will continue to enforce this regulation.”

     Yup, they are going after the free internet to impose censorship of doubleplusungood thoughts.

“Promoting inclusion from an early age is crucial for the well-being and development of LGBTIQ+ people. Inclusive and supportive environments help young people build confidence, resilience, and a positive sense of identity, while   fostering empathy and   respect among all.   When children grow   up in environments that celebrate diversity, they are more likely to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally, and to carry these inclusive values into adulthood, passing them on to future generations.”

     They’re going after all the children.

“The Commission will also build on the New European Bauhaus”

     Bela Lugosi hardest hit.

“The Commission will   continue engaging with   youth organisations seeking   to advocate for   the rights of   LGBTIQ+ young people   through the EU   Youth Stakeholders Group.   Ensuring that young   people have inclusive opportunities for professional and personal development remains a priority. The Commission will continue tackling barriers linked to discrimination in education, training, youth and sport using relevant EU spending instruments, such as the Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps programmes”

     If you haven’t noticed, they’re really interested in the kiddies.

“As ‘guardian of the Treaties’, the Commission will monitor Member States’ compliance with EU law, will use all the instruments at its disposal to protect EU values and will not hesitate to take the actions, where appropriate, as it has done in the past.”

     EU member states will be made to comply.

“Young people are key allies in building inclusive and democratic societies. Through the EU youth dialogueand the targeted youth policy dialogues with Commissioners, the Commission ensures that voices of young people, particularly those from groups at a heightened risk of discrimination, including LGBTIQ+ people, are heard in the policymaking process. This inclusive mechanism will continue to ensure openness to all young people to help shape policies, including those in the LGBTIQ+ community.”

     It’s a bit creepy that they are obsessed over engaging the youth.

“The EU remains   committed to promoting   the rights of LGBTIQ+ people internationally. The rights of LGBTIQ+ people are protected under existing international human rights law, and yet in many parts of the world, LGBTIQ+ people face serious human rights violations, including persecution, imprisonment or even the death penalty(46), simply for being who they are. Increasingly, human rights defenders and their lives are put at risk to advance LGBTIQ+ equality.”

     Today Europe, tomorrow the world!!1!
