International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia


The International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia (IDAHO) is celebrated every May 17 around the world. It is coordinated by the Paris based "IDAHO Committee" founded and presided over by French academic, Louis-Georges Tin. May 17 was chosen as the day of the event because homosexuality was removed from the International Classification of Diseases of the World Health Organization (WHO) on May 17, 1990.
