The international day against Homophobia Transphobia and Biphobia is an annual event where we can all collectively stand together against the injustices and discrimination caused by Homophobia, biphobia or transphobia collectively with our friends within the LGBTQA+ community.

“The International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia was created in 2004 to draw attention to the violence and discrimination experienced by lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex people and all other people with diverse sexual orientations, and gender identities or expressions, and sex characteristics.The date of May 17th was specifically chosen to commemorate the World Health Organization’s decision in 1990 to declassify homosexuality as a mental disorder.
The Day represents a major global annual landmark to draw the attention of decision-makers, the media, the public, corporations, opinion leaders, local authorities, etc. to the alarming situation faced by people with diverse sexual orientations, gender identities or expressions, and sexcharacteristics." (May17.org)

We will be hosting a stall on Wednesday the 18th at the Granton campus where we will be joined by the equalities officer Bethany Parson from 12 pm - 2 pm, so please come along if you are able to and show support for our friends in the LGBT community.
