Today is the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia

Today marks the 20th anniversary of homosexuality being removed from the International Classification of Diseases of the World Health Organization (WHO). 

May 17 is the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia (IDAHO). This day “highlights that in reality it is homophobia that is shameful and must be deconstructed in its social logic and fought against openly.”

According to Stonewall, one in five lesbian and gay people have experienced a homophobic hate crime or incident in the last three years.

Visit the IDAHO website to find out how you can take action.
