The European Commission has proposed a new LGBT inclusion strategy aimed at all 27 member states of the European Union. The strategy emphasizes the need for homosexual individuals to feel "safe, free, and their authentic selves," framing this as a necessary step toward achieving equality among all humans.

The document highlights that discrimination against homosexuals not only leads to financial losses but also undermines social cohesion and democracy. It cites an OECD report to support these claims. The strategy also mentions the historical persecution of homosexuals during World War II as a justification for promoting homosexuality as a desired lifestyle.

A significant aspect of the proposal is the training of law enforcement agencies to address and punish acts of homophobia. The Commission aims for every police precinct in the EU to have a designated officer to handle cases of discrimination against homosexuals. Additionally, the strategy calls for substantial funding for pro-LGBT NGOs to promote LGBT ideology across various platforms, including schools and media.

The document categorizes cyberbullying against homosexuals as a serious offense and indicates that the European Commission will develop new definitions for hate crimes targeting this community. It also advocates for early empowerment of children regarding their sexual orientation, suggesting that educational environments should openly display and discuss homosexuality.

Furthermore, the LGBT agenda is set to become an integral part of EU policies across multiple sectors, including agriculture, health, economy, and defense.
