IDAHOBIT Day
A day against LGBTQIA+ discrimination
Every year on May 17, we celebrate IDAHOBIT. It's a day for the whole community to stand against LGBTQIA+ discrimination, an International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Interphobia and Transphobia. IDAHOBIT is a day to activate, educate and change the world.
