The UK has some of the strongest anti-discrimination laws in Europe and we will be keeping all its protections after we leave the EU. We remain committed to promoting protection and support for LGBT people in the UK and around the world; our continuing membership of the Council of Europe, the UN, the Commonwealth, the Equal Rights Coalition and the European LGBTI Focal Points Network will support us in this work.
