International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia (IDAHOT or IDAHOBIT) is created on the anniversary of the World Health Organization’s decision to declassify homosexuality as a mental disorder

The day serves as a reminder of the discrimination those in the LGBT2Q+ communities have faced and continue to face. It supports global initiatives to “advance the rights of people with diverse sexual orientations, gender identities or expressions, and sex characteristics.”
