I was about to sign it, and then I remembered...
Stupid Brexit 😠
- Same, but… Stupid American…
I'm from England so I can't sign it, fuck!! 😭 I hate this country
- I live in the UK but Northern Ireland so I just invoked my right to consider myself an Irish citizen to sign it on your behalf ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)👍
  
  🙏🙏🙏🙏
Signed, and why the hell isn't this already a law?
- It's banned in several European countries like Germany, France, Portugal, Spain, Belgium, Norway, Iceland and Greece. And it's pending legislation in several others. As to why it wasn't EU law already: Some of the legislations are pretty new so it wasn't considered as something the majority would approve until they started implementing their own laws. On top of that several EU countries have pretty strong homophobic communities.
  Countries like Poland. In 2020 the EU was witholding funding for parts of Poland, because they established "LGBT-free zones". And the last one was only made invalid by the Administrative court last month.
Torture. It isn't therapeutic. Don't validate it. Even if it's about getting eyes in the right places, it's obvious enough to those that care.
Those that don't can get fucked.
PSA: You can still sign EU petitions even if you don’t live in the EU anymore.
There are two layers in the form. The first and the one that counts is your nationality, your passport. This one needs to be EU.
Then later your residency address can be outside of EU and you can select "other country" if you moved to UK, Switzerland, Thailand or whatever.
