Eleições Legislativas 2025: O que propõem os partidos para os direitos LGBTQIA+? Das ausências completas sobre a população LGBTQIA+, à reposição do guia "Direito a SER nas Escolas", passando pela inclusão da identidade de Género na Constituição ou o reconhecimento legal de pessoas não binárias, os programas eleitorais para as Eleições Legislativas 2025 diferem entre si e são espelho da importância dada à proteção das minorias.
