International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia
While there has
been a growing movement among the LGBTQ+ community to be heard, to be
legitimized, and to be accepted as the diverse and wonderful human beings they
are, there is nothing new about their struggle.
Across cultures and
generations, these orientations have existed, and the fear and lack of
understanding of their community have made it difficult to live proud and as an
equal part of the world.
The International
Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia exists to raise
awareness of the realities of the LGBTQ+ communities lives and to help erase
these phobias through understanding.
History of the
International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia
The world can be a
scary place for members of the LGBTQ+ community, even in those countries where
they aren’t actively criminalized and prosecuted. In America, the fear and
misunderstanding of this community lead to violent hate crimes based on
ignorance and bigotry, with individuals being murdered, marginalized, and
otherwise subject to the worst kinds of treatment.
You can imagine how
bad it can be in other parts of the world like China, Russia, and the Middle
East where those who are part of this community are not just actively
prosecuted, but afforded no protections or even basic human rights.
International Day
Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia was established to help bring
these people together and to make a display of solidarity around the world
while working to face these issues and enact social change around the world.
Every day members
of this community fight the good fight in the face of intimidation and work
hard to bring about equality and the freedom to love without boundaries.
How to Celebrate the International Day Against
Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia
The best way to
participate in the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and
Biphobia is to be an active ally to the LGBTQ+ community. Learn everything you
can about the lives they lead and the struggles they face in terms of violence
and bigotry, and work to create a space where they can be heard and be
legitimized in your life.
If you have a
member of your family who’s a member of this community (Hint, you almost
certainly do) try to reach out to them and let them know that you’re there to
support them and that you can be a safe place for them.
