Every year on May 17, we celebrate International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia. This is often shorted to IDAHOT or IDAHOBIT.

The day was created to mark the World Health Organization’s (WHO) important step to declassify homosexuality as a mental disorder on May 17, 1990.

More than 30 years later, it is still an important occasion on which we call on local authorities, politicians, decision-markers, and the general public to recognize, support, and advance the rights of queer people around the world.

This year, as we have done for many years now, the Unifor Local 111 Pride Committee attended Qmunity‘s annual IDAHOT Breakfast fundraiser to mark the annual event.
