- Decision
- Carried
Conference notes with dismay the continuing opposition to LGBT Pride demonstrations and marches in many countries. We are saddened in particular by the violence that has been expressed towards LGBT people participating in Pride demonstrations in Russia, Poland, Latvia, Croatia and many other countries.
Conference urges all UNISON LGBT groups, branches and regions to affiliate to ILGA.
ILGA (the International Lesbian and Gay Association) is a worldwide network of national and local groups dedicated to achieving equal rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered people everywhere. It supports groups in countries all across the world and has been working with many Eastern European groups to support their aims.
Conference also instructs the National LGBT Committee to write to all branch secretaries describing the work of ILGA and urging them to affiliate.
