🌈Pride is Protest. Pride is Power. Pride is Us🌈 The Human Rights Commission honours the LGBTQIA+ community in Bermuda and around the world. Pride is about visibility, dignity, and the ongoing fight for equal rights. This year’s Pride theme reminds us that real change happens when we speak up, show up, and stand together. The HRC proudly joined the ‘Community Collaborators’ in Victoria Park to provide materials and information about our services and our commitment to advancing inclusion, respect and justice for all. We answered questions from the public and reaffirmed the protection from discrimination based on sexual orientation within the Human Rights Act. We thank everyone who continues to advocate, educate, and create safer, more inclusive spaces for our LGBTQIA+ community — because human rights are for everyone, without exception🩵 🔗Learn more about your rights: www.humanrights.bm 📸: @mermeduardo

Today, May 17, is International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia. On Friday, we had politicians, community leaders and a young activist gather to take a stand against homophobia, biphobia and transphobia. Many LGBTQ+ people in Bermuda have learned how to shrink, how to stay quiet, how to make themselves invisible so they can survive. That should not be the cost of belonging in Bermuda. Our community deserves better. We encourage you to help rid Bermuda of this harm; be vocal and visible in your allyship. Invite LGBTQ+ people into the rooms where decisions are made. Help us build a Bermuda where every LGBTQ+ person can be safe, seen, valued and thriving. Thank you to our guest speakers, our advocacy team, and everyone who showed up to support us. 📹: @dammitdickie

Your presence matters. Stand with us on Friday, May 15 for IDAHOBIT. 12:30-1:00 pm at City Hall. IDAHOBIT stands for the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia. It is marked around the world each year on May 17 as a day of action, awareness, solidarity, and visibility for LGBTQIA+ people. Although IDAHOBIT is observed globally, this will be the first time Bermuda publicly marks the day in this way. LGBTQ+ Bermudians and residents still face harm caused by homophobia, biphobia, transphobia, shame, public ridicule, bullying, discrimination, and silence. These harms affect people at school, at work, in families, in faith spaces, online, and in public life. For many LGBTQ+ people, especially young people, this can lead to isolation, poor mental health, fear, and a deep sense that they do not belong. Transgender and non-binary people in Bermuda face added stigma, misunderstanding, and gaps in safety, healthcare, and legal protection. This event will create a public moment of solidarity. It will name the harm caused by homophobia, biphobia and transphobia. It will lift up the dignity of LGBTQ+ people in Bermuda. It will call on leaders, institutions, families, and allies to help build a Bermuda where LGBTQ+ people are safe, seen, valued and thriving. Bring a colleague. Bring a friend. Bring a family member. Bring someone who believes Bermuda can be more loving, more inclusive, and more courageous. 📹: @dammitdickie

Happy Lesbian Visibility Week! Lesbian visibility week is commemorated annually to celebrate lesbians and all they’ve done for the LGBTQ+ community, and to raise awareness for the challenges they face.
