Today is International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT)!
The theme for IDAHOBIT this year is “At the heart of democracy.” This theme reminds us that “truly democratic societies must be rich in meaningful equity and justice for all.”
Increasingly intolerant attitudes and harmful legislation are threatening the rights, safety and dignity of 2SLGBTQIA+ people around the world. IDAHOBIT reminds us of the importance of challenging hate in all its forms and upholding the value of equal rights for all. We support our 2SLGBTQIA+ community members and their families and allies as we fight for a truly equal society across Canada.
