!casualeurope@piefed.social for a casual community without politics
!yurop@feddit.org for memes about European politics

!casualeurope@piefed.social

When this community was started, the idea was to have a !casualconversation@lemm.ee version, but focused on Europe. Yurop was selected as a name to show that it was less serious, but it seems like it still gets associated with https://old.reddit.com/r/YUROP/ , which is more about making memes about the Europeans news than casual conversation.

I have recently opened !casualeurope@piefed.social to solve this. Feel free to join us there, there is already some conversation going!

Where will content be posted now?

I will personally post content on the new community. Piefed has some nice features that can be used, so it's a good opportunity.

What will happen to !yurop@lemm.ee?

Not sure yet, but as the community wasn't that active, it will probably just become inactive. I could also lock it to push people to the new community, but that probably won't be necessary at first.

Feel free if you have any questions

The prize for winning is the cheese that they're all chasing. She's just that committed to hurling herself down a hill for the pure love of the game, apparently

We call on the European Commission to propose a binding legal ban on conversion practices targeting LGBTQ+ citizens in the European Union:

Conversion Practices are interventions aimed at changing, repressing or suppressing the sexual orientation, gender identity and/or gender expression of LGBTQ+ persons.

Such practices, due to their discriminatory, degrading, harmful and fraudulent nature have been qualified as torture by the United Nations, and are currently being banned in a growing number of States.

The EU plays a key role in the protection of fundamental rights and should take actions to fight against all inhuman practices. The Commission should propose a directive adding conversion practices to the list of euro-crimes and/or amend the ongoing directive on equality (2008) to include a ban on these practices.

Furthermore, to fight against the legislative moratorium, the Commission should also enforce a non-binding resolution calling for a widespread ban of conversion practices in the EU.

Finally, we call on the Commission to amend the Victimsโ€™ Rights Directive to establishes minimum standards on the rights, support and protection of victims of conversion practices.

All member states should introduce a ban on conversion practices or review their current ones.
