The PES LGBTI Roadmap, adopted on 16 June 2017, emphasizes the importance of respecting and guaranteeing the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and intersex (LGBTI) people through appropriate legislation and policies. The roadmap focuses on EU legislation, national competence, and international policies, aiming to eliminate breaches of LGBTI people's human rights. Key objectives include:

1. Legislative and political objectives at the European level:
- Completing the EU equality law framework
- Combating hatred and intolerance, including homophobic and transphobic violence
- Ensuring the rights of asylum-seekers and refugees
- Promoting equal freedom of movement for all families
- Monitoring fundamental rights and the rule of law in Member States

2. Non-EU aspects of European policies:
- Cooperating with other European intergovernmental organisations, such as the Council of Europe and the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe
- Providing tools for PES representatives to take leadership in relevant parliamentary assemblies and cooperation fora

3. Legislative and political objectives at the national level:
- Ensuring that PES member parties enforce the values promoted at EU level in their home jurisdictions
- Identifying and disseminating best practices across the continent
- Combating the instrumentalisation of LGBTI people's rights against other minorities
- Focusing on the rights of trans and intersex people, including legal gender recognition and depathologisation.
