Great news. This will sadly also feed anti-EU sentiment among bigots in countries like Poland, Hungary, etc. Here to hoping it's a net positive long term.

And your suggestion is? Simply not giving queer people rights?
Nothing. Their suggestion is nothing. They said this is a good thing. They're lamenting the fact bigots will use this as a cudal to weaken the alliance. The thing they think is bad is the bigots, not queer rights.
Gotta love the Internet. Unless you fully agree with side A, then certainly you're siding with B! I just sated facts, my friend.
I think it's worth pointing out that interpreting something so benign as this in such a hostile way is indicative of a seriously unhealthy relationship with social media. I mean no offense, but now might be a good time to re-evaluate your browsing habits and maybe see if you can't cut some algorithms out.
this is pretty significant!
does anyone know of EU countries where one can get something like a gender recognition certificate for nonbinary people, even if a person is just travelling there & isn't ordinarily resident there? asking for a friend who is me 🤞😅
You can tell ~~your friend~~ yourself that it is actually much rarer in the EU to have non-binary options for official documents than I thought. And those that do only have it for citizens or permanent residents. In Germany, for example, you have the option to put Diverse on your ID and other national official documents, but only if you have a medical certificate that confirms yourself as being intersex. So transgender people or other non-binaries are not included and do not have this option.
Good stuff, but might not want to get too excited just yet:
The [EU's Court of Justice] did not decide the national dispute itself. Its ruling provides a legal interpretation that the Bulgarian court must now apply when issuing its final judgment.
I have no clue how effective "a legal interpretation that the Bulgarian court must now apply" actually is, but it doesn't sound as thorough as the headline suggests. Nevertheless, still a positive.
