I AM...

I am whatever YOU think I am until YOU get to KNOW me. This is true for everyone else too, of course.. so don't make assumptions about anyone or pass judgment; ask questions. You might just make a new friend.

🏳️‍🌈 INTERNATIONAL DAY AGAINST HOMOPHOBIA, TRANSPHOBIA & BIPHOBIA 🙅🏽‍♂️


Since 2005, May 17th has been dedicated to the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia, marking the day in 1990 when the World Health Organization removed homosexuality from its list of mental disorders.

IDAHOTB is celebrated in over 130 countries, uniting millions of people in support of the recognition of human rights for all, irrespective of sexual orientation or gender identity or expression.

The International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia is not one centralised campaign; rather it is a moment that everyone can take advantage of to take action.

This year's theme is 'Together: Resisting, Supporting, Healing!'.

Given everything that is currently happening in the world, IDAHOTB 2021 will be marked online again this year with virtual events, themes and more.

The organization behind IDAHOT, May17.org created a list of Virtual Suggestions & Ideas for any of us to participate and mark IDAHOT 2021.

Using your favourite social media platform, follow #idahot2021 #idahot and go from there! Find your favourite performers, check out what your local groups are up to online.

From sharing a post, learning about queer culture to supporting a queer artists and initiatives there are lots of ways to celebrate and contribute on an important day.
