COC celebrates a milestone and is proud of it. The organisation clearly states what it wants to achieve.

COC has taken important steps for LGBTQ+ people for decades. From legalising marriages to equal inheritance rights: much achieved.

But rest is not an option. COC states that Netherlands once led worldwide. They want to lead again. Especially in equal rights and social acceptance.

"Let us not go backward in achievements," is the message. The milestone is not just a celebration. It is a moment to go forward with clear goals.

The organisation focuses on visibility and safety of LGBTQ+ people. Both in Netherlands and internationally.
