IDAHO

No, not the US state. It is, apparently, The International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia.

I don't know how well publicised this is, but personally I wouldn't have heard of it if a straight friend hadn't linked to a facebook page about it!! It seems to have begun in Canada and I expect it's reasonably well-known in parts of the USA too.

Of course it won't have an awful lot of impact on the people who really need to stop being bigots. The Ugandan government. Certain US states & politicians. Certain British (Northern Ireland in particular) politicians, etc.. Fundamentalist whackos of all persuasions who claim to have religious faith (which as a rule bears no relation to the precepts of whichever religion it is they claim to follow). The Iranian government. In fact the governments of any of the 75 or so nations where it's still illegal to be LGBT (might as well make it illegal to have blue eyes!!) and the 7 or 8 where it carries a death sentence.

But it's worth making a fuss anyway. Nothing changes unless you make it change.
