LGBTI+ around the world

As we celebrate WorldPride and our proud and strong LGBTI+ community in Copenhagen and Malmö, we must always remember that not all LGBTI+ people enjoy the rights and freedoms that we have fought so long to win. In 41% of the world it is still illegal to be LGBTI+ and in some countries LGBTI+ people face death for the crime of just being who they are and loving whom they choose.
