Today, we observe IDAHOBIT, the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia, marking the WHO's 1990 decision to declassify homosexuality as a mental disorder. This milestone underscores the ongoing fight for LGBTQ+ rights.
This yearās theme, At the Heart of Democracy, reinforces that queer rights are integral to open societies. Letās advocate for inclusive workplaces that celebrate diversity and protect the rights of all.
Join us in sharing this message! Together, we can make a difference! šš
