International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Interphobia & Transphobia.


Building success through learning

we're going rainbow for lgbtqia+ youth and you can too!

31 years ago - on 17 May 17 1990 - the World Health Organisation removed homosexuality from the Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems.

International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Interphobia & Transphobia (IDAHOBIT) celebrates LGBTQIA+ people globally, and raises awareness for the work still needed to combat discrimination.
