In 2023, the LGBT+ area became part of the City of Copenhagen’s Gender Equality Policy, rather than being a separate policy. The goal is to unify the gender equality areas and ensure that all Copenhageners have equal opportunities to live a good and healthy life regardless of gender, gender expression, sexuality, family structure, etc. The new approach is more flexible and dynamic, as an assessment of the LGBT+ area will be conducted each year in the annual policy status report. It is the intention that the departments will initiate new initiatives on an ongoing basis to a much greater extent, as the city continually gains more knowledge about the area and addresses new issues, challenges, and, not least, solutions to solve LGBT+ related well-being problems and exclusion among Copenhageners.
