DESCRIPTION:En mobilisant des slogans historiques\, la Ville de Genève invite la population\, du 7 au 17 mai\n2026\, à refuser la normalisation des postures réactionnaires et des discours de haine afin de\nse positionner contre les violences envers les personnes LGBTIQ+.\nEn marge de la Journée internationale de lutte contre l’homophobie\, la biphobie et la transphobie du\n17 mai\, la Ville de Genève propose chaque année une campagne combinant un affichage public et\nun programme d’évènements et de rencontres visant à sensibiliser la population aux discriminations\nen lien avec l’orientation sexuelle et affective\, l’identité et l’expression de genre et les\ncaractéristiques sexuées. L’édition 2026 rappelle que les personnes LGBTIQ+ ont toujours existé et\ncontinuent de résister à l’effacement et au poids des normes dominantes.

SUMMARY:11th Rainbow Forum: Compliance or Resistance
DESCRIPTION:The Rainbow Forum is an important annual event in Armenia and the country’s largest queer activist gathering\, bringing together LGBT+ people and allies\, activists and human rights defenders\, professionals\, and parents. \nIn 2026\, we are once again organizing one of the most significant events of the LGBT+ movement — the 11th Rainbow Forum — under the theme: “Compliance or Resistance”. \nAs war\, repression\, and political instability continue to intensify across the world and the region\, safe spaces for LGBT+ people are increasingly threatened. Many are forced either to resist or to leave their countries in search of safety\, often arriving in Armenia. At the same time\, the upcoming elections in Armenia are accompanied by renewed waves of manipulation and growing anti-LGBT+ and anti-gender rhetoric targeting women\, trans\, non-binary\, and other non-heteronormative people\, as well as defenders of women’s and LGBT+ rights. \nThis year’s forum is about our response. \nThe Rainbow Forum creates a safe and inclusive platform where participants can raise issues that matter\, share experiences\, support one another\, and take part in conversations about meaningful change for the LGBT+ community in Armenia. It is also an opportunity to learn from experienced activists\, human rights defenders\, and allies who continue contributing to equality\, dignity\, and justice.

SUMMARY:Steps to Liberation: Unveiling the Rainbow Steps
DESCRIPTION:Community members and allies will gather at Founders Metropolitan Community Church in Los Angeles for a public act of courage: the unveiling of the Rainbow Steps. \nCreated by Lynn Segerblom\, co-creator of the original rainbow flag in 1978\, the installation transforms the church’s historic entry staircase into a vibrant spectrum of color — a symbolic pathway representing courage\, visibility\, and the ongoing struggle for LGBTQ+ dignity and equality. \nFounders MCC holds a unique place in LGBTQ+ history. Its founder\, Rev. Troy Perry\, helped launch the modern Pride movement by organizing the first Pride parade in Los Angeles in 1970\, demonstrating how visibility and collective action help expand freedom. \nThe event will also mark the official launch of Flag50\, a global initiative leading toward the 50th anniversary of the rainbow flag in 2028\, celebrating the flag’s enduring role as a symbol of hope\, diversity\, and human rights. \nIn a time when LGBTQ+ people around the world continue to face discrimination and violence\, the Rainbow Steps stand as a visible reminder that defending LGBTQ+ dignity is central to protecting democracy itself. \nThe event will take place in person in Los Angeles and online for global participation\, inviting communities everywhere to reflect on why equality and solidarity remain at the heart of democracy. \nMore information and livestream details:ourpride.org \nWith each step\, the Rainbow Steps invite us to remember that freedom is not achieved in a single moment\, but built step by step through courage\, solidarity\, and the enduring promise of democracy.

SUMMARY:IDAHOBIT 2026-Decriminalisation in Asia Pacific: Are we moving forward?
DESCRIPTION:We have seen positive efforts in terms of decriminalisation of same-sex sexual acts in India (2018)\, Bhutan (2021)\, Singapore (2022) and most recently Cook Islands (2023). However\, seventeen countries in the region still have colonial laws prohibiting consensual sex between men. \nThe session aims to raise awareness for LGBTQI+ rights and the lives of those who are from countries with criminalization laws\, and profiling the Amsterdam Rainbow Dress that has been centerfold for numerous celebrations and events related to the decriminalization of LGBTQI+.

SUMMARY:Exhibition "Queer"
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition on homosexuality and trans* identity aims to break down barriers and raise awareness. Twelve roll-up displays provide visitors with information on the history of homosexuality: Until when were homosexual acts criminalized in Germany? What do the colors of the rainbow flag represent? What do penguins have to do with homosexuality? A wealth of interesting\, sad\, but also humorous information has been visualized in an entertaining way. The exhibition makes it clear that history is not a linear progression. Its images depict a constant ebb and flow—and serve as a reminder that today’s status quo cannot be taken for granted.\nTuesday\, May 19 2026 – Wednesday\, June 03 2026\nTime: daily from 8:00 am to 6 pm\nTo mark the start of the exhibition\, the Catholic University Community KHG Saarbrücken and the Diversity Office are hosting an opening event on May 19\, from 4 to 6 pm\nProgram:\nMusical opening: Matthis Löw Harfe\nWelcome with a short talk on the topic “Queer and the Catholic Church”: Katrin Altmaier\, KHG Saarbrücken\nShort presentation on “IDAHOBITA”: Tamara Wagner\, Diversity Office\nMusical interlude\nReception: exploring the exhibition together while interacting

SUMMARY:The Fight Is Global: LGBTIQ Activists in Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion on progress (and backlash) within the LGBTIQ human rights movement. \nTo celebrate the International Day Against Homophobia\, Biphobia\, and Transphobia\, please join the Consulate General of Sweden in New York\, Friends of the High Line\, and Outright International on May 19 for a discussion on progress (and backlash) within the LGBTIQ human rights movement. \nIn New York\, a city whose courage in 1969 at Stonewall inspired the global LGBTIQ movement\, we understand the importance of protecting the rights that generations have fought for. Fortunately\, there are lessons from around the world for us to draw upon. LGBTIQ activists in other countries have faced these conditions and worse before and survived them. The lessons from their experiences\, strategies\, and resiliencies are vital to learn from in a moment like this. Join us for a conversation about what it means to fight for LGBTIQ rights as a global community. In an increasingly globalized world\, a setback anywhere weakens our movement everywhere\, and a victory anywhere strengthens it too. \nIn the last decade\, the progress that the LGBTIQ community has made has been astounding. However\, these hard-fought successes were also noticed by those who oppose LGBTIQ rights. This global backlash to the LGBTIQ human rights movement has built vast international networks to coordinate their strategies and spread the same false narratives across borders. The attacks on the LGBTIQ community happening right here in the United States today are part of a global playbook\, tested abroad and then imported back to places like New York when the opposition saw an opening. \nAt the event\, U.S. Drag Activist Marti Gould Cummings and Iraqi Activist and Attorney Amir Ashour will join global LGBTIQ movement leader and Outright Executive Director Maria Sjödin\, whose career includes leading the largest LGBTIQ organization in Sweden\, RFSL\, in conversation. They will discuss the global nature of the struggle for LGBTIQ rights and the need for those who advocate for LGBTIQ rights in New York City to support the fights for rights everywhere. The speakers will discuss what transnational movement-building looks like in practice and what we can learn from one another in an increasingly challenging political moment.
