About International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia
A day to recognise the progress made in the struggle for LGBT+ equality and recommit ourselves to working with the LGBT+ community to fight for full equality around the world. Created in 2004 to draw the attention of policymakers, opinion leaders, social movements, the public and the media to the violence and discrimination experienced by LGBTI people internationally. The date of May 17th was specifically chosen to commemorate the World Health Organization’s decision in 1990 to declassify homosexuality as a mental disorder.
