The Dutch government has announced that it is determined to fight discrimination against gay and lesbian people both at home and abroad.
Last month the Dutch Cooperation Development minister, Bert Koenders, said in a letter to the Parliament that in its foreign relations "the Netherlands will promote equal rights for gays as much as possible."
Frank Van Dalen, the leader of gay rights movement COC, told AFP: "never before has a government done so much for the emancipation of gays."
The Netherlands was the first country in the world to institute same-sex marriage and allow homosexual partners to adopt children.
