The European Parliament has just adopted its annual report on equality between women and men in the European Union. The text looks at recent advances in gender equality, and includes several recommendations for LGBT rights.

The report, drafted by Sophie in 't Veld MEP, acknowledges that "families in the European Union are diverse" and include "different-sex and same-sex parents [...] who deserve equal protection under national and European Union law".
