Politicians across Europe have agreed to tackle homophobia and discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation and gender identity.
The vote of MEPs comes after RTE apologised to a group which was offended by a comment made by Dublin drag artist Rory O'Neill during a discussion on TV about homophobia.
The groups also claim RTE paid them damages, believed to be in the region of €85,000, following the apology.
The State Broadcaster's actions have been widely criticised, and prompted an estimated two thousand people to take part in an anti-censorship rally at the weekend.
Dublin MEP Emer Costello believes paying out was wrong:
It comes as a report by Amnesty International finds transgender people face discrimination every day all over Europe.
The group says countries, including Ireland, are violating the human rights of people trying to change their legal gender identity.
Spokesperson, Colm O'Gorman, believes the law needs to be changed:
Rory O'Neill spoke about his experiences of homophobia at the Abbey Theatre last weekend.
Panti's Noble Call has been shared by politicians from home and abroad, as well as celebrities including Graham Norton and Ru Paul.
The speech has already been viewed more than 120,000 times on Youtube.
