ROMA LGBT
The subject of LGBT+ people of Romani origin and their multiple discrimination is one we began dedicating ourselves to intensively in 2014, when we held the historically first official meeting in the Czech Republic of gays and lesbians of Romani origin. For security reasons, that event was practically held in secret and its outputs were anonymized, but even so, information about the meeting was abundantly disseminated through the community and the entire event got a great response. In the following years we brought up this subject at international level and held two conferences about LGBT people of Romani origin during which we established the European LGBTIQ-Roma Platform, the long-term aim of which is to advocate for this minority’s rights at the level of communities and in politics.
