Idaho day – what is your organisation planning?

Same –sex marriage finally becomes legal on March 29. Although there is still much to do, sexual orientation equality has made great strides in the last 20 years in the UK.

May 17 is Idaho day - international Day against homophobia and transphobia. What are you going to do to raise awareness and take a stand against homophobia and transphobia?

In five countries in the world, gay people still face the death penalty, and 36 countries still have laws criminalizing homosexuality. Idaho day provides an opportunity to raise awareness and take a stand against homophobia and transphobia.
