[1][2] Since then, MGRM has had a key role in lobbying for legislation, carrying out research and providing support to Malta's LGBTIQ community.

[3] When the group disbanded, some members including Sonja Casha and Chris Attard decided that they wished to resume their activism work, so they got together alongside some volunteers, and drew up the first statute of the Malta Gay Rights Movement.

[12] Through this project, MGRM extended its Rainbow Support Service to people living with HIV, and lobbied for better treatment and free preventative care.

MGRM's first success in its lobbying for full equal rights related to the ban discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.

MGRM criticised this bill, pointing out that the proposed law "fails to attain even the minimal level of recognition acceptable".

[16] The bill did not include same-sex couples in the legal definition of "family" which meant that if a same-sex couple with children moved to Malta, the child would lose a legal parent, constituting a breach to children's rights and freedom of movement where EU citizens are concerned.

A new Labour Party (Malta) Government launched a full Civil Unions bill which included same-sex couples within the definition of 'family' at the top of the agenda, a move welcomed by MGRM.

[19] The Civil Unions Bill was approved by Parliament in October 2013, and signed by the President Marie-Louise Coleiro Preca in April 2014.

[26] MGRM called religious organizations' resistance to a proposed 2015 bill presented to Parliament by Helena Dalli as being 'profoundly flawed'.
