Supporting the right of LGBTQI+ people to equal and inalienable human rights, economic rights, civil rights, and social and political equity at home and abroad and condemning discrimination, persecution, and violence against LGBTQI+ identifying individuals and communities everywhere, including in Europe and Eurasia.

House Resolution 470 is a non-binding resolution that expresses the sense of the House of Representatives regarding the protection of LGBTQI+ individuals both in the United States and internationally. The resolution calls on federal agencies, such as the Department of State, to prioritize the promotion of equal rights and safety for these communities in their diplomatic and foreign aid work.

If adopted, the resolution would encourage the U.S. government to increase funding for human rights organizations in Europe and Eurasia and urge foreign governments to enact stronger protections against discrimination and violence. While the resolution does not create new domestic laws, it serves as a formal statement of policy intent to use American diplomatic influence and resources to support social, political, and economic equity for LGBTQI+ people globally.
