Out Southwest Celebrates IDAHOBIT

Out Southwest marked International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Intersexism, and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT) with an engaging event that included a presentation on Blue Leaf services and a community stall. The event, held on May 17, commemorates the removal of homosexuality from the World Health Organisation’s classification of diseases in 1990. It serves to educate and raise awareness about ongoing efforts to combat discrimination and promote inclusivity. Highlighting the importance of being true to oneself, the event encouraged acceptance and support for LGBTIQ+ individuals and allies alike, reinforcing the message of kindness and understanding in all interactions.
