We asked LGBTI people to give us their views. Around 140,000 LGBTI people shared their stories. It will provide invaluable insights into their everyday experiences across different areas of life. It will contribute to discussions on future responses to address the needs and rights of LGBTI people. FRA Director, Michael O'Flaherty talks about the LGBTI survey results:
