International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia

May 17th – the world marks IDAHOBIT, International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia.

This date holds significance for LGBTQIA+ communities as it commemorates May 17th, 1990, the day when the World Health Organisation declassified homosexuality as a mental illness and removed from their Classification of Diseases.

While this day marked a major step forward for LGBTQIA+ equality, decades on global communities continue to face discrimination. IDAHOBIT celebrates the vibrant and diverse LGBTQIA+ community and raises awareness about the ongoing fight for equality.
