Events for International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia Held Worldwide

The International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia (IDAHO) was marked in more than 50 countries yesterday, May 17th 2009. IDAHO seeks to raise awareness of gay and lesbian issues, celebrate sexual and gender diversity, and bring an end to homophobia around the world. The theme this year was ‘homosexuality knows no borders’. IDAHO occurs every year on May 17th because on this date in 1990 the World Health Organisation removed homosexuality from its list of mental illnesses. Full Story from Pink News- Click Here
