“LGBT-free zones” in Poland without financial support from Norway. The Norwegian National Armed Forces announced that they would withdraw financial resources from municipalities that declare themselves to be LGBT-free zones.

LGBT-free zones - Norway against the wave of hatred ...
By "turning off the money tap" Norway wants to clearly oppose hatred towards otherness, ideological and sexual diversity.
“Such declarations are not consistent with the values on which European cooperation is based. There are also grounds to conclude that they violate the European Convention on Human Rights. LGBT people have the right to the same protection against violations of their rights and personal freedoms as all other European citizens," ASSURES the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Norway in a statement.

The Ministry of Diplomacy commissioned an investigation of the situation in these communes. And so, among others, Kraśnik has not received any financial support for several of his projects at the moment. Norway's foreign minister stressed that Norway would not support regions where basic human and sexual minority rights are not respected.
What does the European Union say?
LGBT-free zones have generated a lot of controversy. Not only in our country, but also throughout Europe and around the world. It is quite a loss for the individual municipalities from which the funds will be withdrawn. The more that these cities put a lot of work into the implementation of their new activities. Brussels also referred to this situation.
I want to be clear: LGBT-free zones are zones that are free from humanistic values. There is no place for them in our EU, said Ursula von der Leyen, head of the European Commission.
In summary...Ursula Von Der Leyen assures. He will do everything to ensure that greater emphasis is placed on the rights and dignity of sexual minorities in the upcoming projects and implementations planned by the "European community". Tolerance and mutual respect are some of the foundations of healthy social relationships. there is no place for hatred.
