Madrid has partially revoked laws protecting LGBTI+s

Spain's Madrid region partially revokes trans, LGBTI+ rights laws.

Madrid's regional assembly on Friday passed a proposal by the Spanish capital's ruling conservative People's Party (PP) to strip back protections for transgender people. It parked outcry from the opposition and LGBTI+ activists, Reuters reported.

The bill, which amended a regional trans rights law and an LGBTI+ rights law - both passed in 2016 with the PP's backing - makes Madrid the first Spanish region to roll back such legislation.
