The International Day Against Homophobia (and transphobia) campaign was launched back in 2003. Every may 17th people and communities around the globe come together to organize, educate and advocate on behalf of the LGBT population & their allies.
According to the website the goals for this campaign are to:
-promote the growth of harmonious relationships among people, regardless of their sexual orientation;
-further the inclusion of homosexual persons in society
-encourage citizens to understand sexual diversity;
-put an end to discrimination based on sexual orientation in keeping with the charters of rights and freedoms;
-give rise to a general openmindedness towards diversity, and other related values in our society;
-show the devastating effects of homophobia;
-propose and put in place concrete means to fight homophobia;
-induce all sympathizers to organize activities aimed at fighting homophobia;
-set up a consultation process among its partners;
-converge all anti-homophobia activities on a single day;
-put together an organizational structure capable of insuring the survival and recurrence of the event.

For me it’s a time to remember our struggles, hardships and loss along the way; but to also celebrate our triumphs, victories and progression toward a better future. Usually every May 17th I’m found sharing stories with other members of the LGBT community, having a BBQ and playing music. It’s a day to admire diversity and to help others recognize that we’re people and we have rights. It’s a call to end further oppression.
Whatever you’re doing today, enjoy it. Take a moment to remember how we got here and where we can go if we continue to come together. Let’s not just make it about one day, but rather a movement to shape history.
As always, peace & solidarity, Karma
