The Netherlands, once among the leaders in LGBTQ rights, has been failing to create a more open society for all people lately, according to the Dutch Minister of Education, Culture and Science.

“In the Netherlands, we for a long time felt we were frontrunners, we were leading the world, we were very proud of our tradition of being very tolerant and open,” Robbert Dijkgraaf said in a phone interview ahead of the annual Pride parade on Amsterdam’s canals this weekend. “But I feel that this is something that we need to push for more because it’s totally not obvious that we’ll automatically become a more inclusive society.”
