Flora Bolter, political scientist, activist and co-director of the LGBT+ observatory of the Fondation Jean-Jaurès, and Laeticia Thissen, FEPS Gender Equality Policy Analyst

Contributing to the LGBTIQ Pride Month leading up to the international pride day (June 28th), this FEPS Talks edition features Flora Bolter (political scientist, activist and co-director of the LGBT+ observatory of the Fondation Jean-Jaurès) who engages in a conversation with Laeticia Thissen (FEPS Gender Equality Policy Analyst). After seeking to untangle the complexity of the multiple realities behind the acronym together with its historic and societal evolution, this podcast offers a glimpse into the intersecting forms of discrimination people from the LGBTIQ community face whilst touching on recent developments within Europe, from the alarming backlash against LGBTIQ rights challenging fundamental rights to the role of the European Union seeking to assert itself as a Union of Equality.
