IDAHOBIT 2023 theme: “Together always: united in diversity”

We are happy and proud to announce that the theme for the 2023 edition of the International Day against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia will be “Together always: united in diversity”.

Decided during a large consultation with LGBTIQ organisations from across the world, the theme will allow for advocacy and celebrations in many forms – be them from human rights defenders, LGBTIQ civil society groups, millions of people in our communities, and our allies.

At a time when hard-won advances for our LGBTI communities around the globe are increasingly under threat, the power of solidarity, allyship and community across identities, borders, and movements has never been more necessary.

Note on reporting May 17 events

Every year until 2020 we used to feature on Country Pages, which can be accessed via the interactive world map, as much information on May 17 events as we could find. We are currently unfortunately not in a capacity to do so anymore until further notice.

Country pages now only feature announcements of events that were directly registered on our site. 

You can find more information on what has happens for the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia by scrolling down our Twitter feed @may17org

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT ON THE NAME OF THE DAY

 

The May 17 Day is going by many different names and acronyms, and that’s OK.

The Committee who create the Day back in 2004 and is managing its global visibility currently uses both

IDAHOTB and IDAHOBIT

We have seen lately that several groups translate the “I” with “intersexism”. We have consulted with Intersex organisations who consider this term to be vague and misleading.

We therefore ask everyone to please refrain from using the term “intersexism” and prefer the term “intersexphobia”. Please also note that the name of the Day currently does not explicitly include Intersexphobia as there is no global consensus among the Intersex communities that this should be included in the remit of May 17.
