Seems very much that the consultation is that they can say that they talked to all groups to tell them what the legislation is going to be.
Your right in the sesne that it is a progressive step in the right direction, and should be applauded for that. It's faily amiasing the changes that have happened over the last 30 years, given the hard work of activists and lobbyists for winning the argument. Can you imagine if we still had the legislation of the 50's.
As for the Bi v Poly stuff, at this moment it doesn't really matter by the sounds of things, but if the legislkative change is based upon sexual orientation equality enforced by EU convention, then there could be a legal argument that equality on grounds of legislatioin is not being met, since some bisexuals do not have equal rights. But that's more of a EU wide issue and will need to be kept for the next round of debate. I only suggest that on the grounds that if you mention it in your report to the consultative stage, then the notion is lodged and if it ends up in their document then there is a starting point or reference point for future discussion,lobbying. I admit that although it may be relevant know there is no chance of changing the wheels in motion and tactically, it may put a spanner in the works at this critical stage.
I guess that's an issue for future long term political activism tactical and strategic implications for Bi and potentially LGBT national lobby groups in the EU for the future.
I don't have a problem with Poly so to speak, but it's not a sexual orientation in respect to what is commonly known or supported by medical/legal evidence to be sexual orientation neit

and hooray to you, for your hard work.
