When is International Anti-Homosexuality Day?

May 17 every year is International Anti-Homosexuality Day.

International Day Against Homosexuality (IDAHOTB TB), also known as International Day Against Homosexuality, Transsexuality and Bisexuality. The date is1May 7 (since May 1990, the World Health Organization (WHO) removed "homosexuality" from the list of mental diseases). I hope to arouse the world's fear of gay, bisexual and transgender groups, as well as all the concerns about physical or mental violence and unfair treatment caused by differences in sexual orientation and gender identity.

Homophobia refers to the fear and hatred of homosexuals and homosexual acts. Homophobia, like racism, is a kind of discrimination, which is manifested in misinterpretation, contempt, rejection, hatred and hostility towards people who are considered gay or related things, especially those whose appearance and behavior do not conform to the traditional gender roles.

The Development History of International Homophobia

The theme of "International Day Against Homophobia, Transgender and Bisexuality" in 2020 is "Breaking the Silence", calling on the public to pay attention to the inequality around the world, and * * * opposing the discrimination, restrictions and hatred faced by the LGBTQI+ group at present and in the future.

On May 17, the United Nations released a public service short film, calling on people to create a world where they can be themselves safely. No matter who you are or who you love, they refuse to turn a blind eye or remain silent in the face of humiliation, discrimination, injustice and even violence.

In a speech, UN Secretary-General Guterres pointed out that one of the many serious impacts caused by the 20 19 coronavirus epidemic is that lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex people are more vulnerable, facing prejudice, attack and even killing. Many of them are suffering more and more serious stigma because of this virus, and they encounter new obstacles when seeking medical advice.
