International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia

May 17 is International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia, a day to fight for the rights of LGBTQ2SIA+ people all over the world. Beginning in 2005, the day’s roots reach back to May 17, 1990, the day that homosexuality was removed from the International Classification of Diseases by the World Health Organization. The rights of the LGBTQ2SIA+ community continue to be questioned and under threat all over the world, and today serves as a reminder that education, community, and mutual support are necessary in the face of hate and bigotry. The CTRC has gathered some supportive resources.
