Except that the extant member states don't have to extend those protections - at least to the T part of LGBT. Look at Britain stripping away trans people's legal rights with the upcoming (so-called) Equalities Act. Cos, you know, you only have to extend "genuine protection" to trans people until it looks like your customers might get upset, omg! Look at what France puts trans people through. And so on, and so on. (Also, don't forget, it's a-okay to discriminate against LGBT people if you're a church! The government says so!)
"Last week, Albania, which is also seeking membership in the EU, passed a new anti-discrimination law that fulfills of the LGBT protection requirements for European Union member states, despite strong opposition from that nations Muslim, Orthodox and Catholic communities."
I am shocked, I tell you, that the main opposition was from religious groups. Shocked.
