SUMMARY:OUTBermuda IDAHOBIT Observance
DESCRIPTION:OUTBermuda IDAHOBIT Observance\nInternational Day Against Homophobia\, Biphobia and Transphobia\nFriday\, May 15 | 12:30 p.m. to 1:00 p.m | Steps of City Hall\nOUTBermuda invites members of Bermuda’s LGBTQ+ community\, allies\, nonprofit leaders\, political leaders\, business leaders\, faith leaders\, families\, friends\, and members of the public to join us for Bermuda’s first public observance of IDAHOBIT.\nIDAHOBIT stands for the International Day Against Homophobia\, Biphobia and Transphobia. It is marked around the world each year on May 17 as a day of action\, awareness\, solidarity\, and visibility for LGBTQIA+ people.\nThe date recognizes the World Health Organization’s May 17\, 1990 decision to remove homosexuality from the International Classification of Diseases. You can learn more about the international day at may17.org.\nAlthough IDAHOBIT is observed globally\, this will be the first time Bermuda publicly marks the day in this way.\nWe are doing this because LGBTQ+ Bermudians and residents still face harm caused by homophobia\, biphobia\, transphobia\, shame\, public ridicule\, bullying\, discrimination\, and silence. These harms affect people at school\, at work\, in families\, in faith spaces\, online\, and in public life.\nFor many LGBTQ+ people\, especially young people\, this can lead to isolation\, poor mental health\, fear\, and a deep sense that they do not belong. Transgender and non-binary people in Bermuda face added stigma\, misunderstanding\, and gaps in safety\, healthcare\, and legal protection.\nOUTBermuda has also recently completed Bermuda’s first national LGBTQ+ survey and research project\, in partnership with Global Research. This has been a historic opportunity for LGBTQ+ people connected to Bermuda to share their experiences\, needs\, concerns\, and hopes for the future.\nWe will use the data from this research to better advocate for and serve our community. We also plan to publish the findings to help amplify the voices\, contributions\, and needs of LGBTQ+ people connected to Bermuda.\nTogether\, IDAHOBIT and this research project mark an important moment for Bermuda. We are creating more space for LGBTQ+ people to be heard\, seen\, protected\, and included in decisions that affect our lives.\nThis event will create a public moment of solidarity. It will name the harm caused by homophobia\, biphobia and transphobia. It will lift up the dignity of LGBTQ+ people in Bermuda. It will call on leaders\, institutions\, families\, and allies to help build a Bermuda where LGBTQ+ people are safe\, seen\, valued and thriving.\nOUTBermuda’s Policy Manifesto calls for stronger action to protect and support LGBTQ+ Bermudians. This includes targeted LGBTQ+ mental health support\, clear school protocols to address anti-LGBTQ+ bullying and harassment\, improved access to gender-affirming care\, stronger confidentiality protections\, the addition of gender identity to the Human Rights Act\, and stronger legal protections against hate and discrimination.\nYou can read the full OUTBermuda Policy Manifesto here: outbermuda.org/policy-manifesto \nYour Presence Matters\nThis event is for LGBTQ+ people and allies.\nFor LGBTQ+ people\, showing up can be an act of visibility\, pride\, courage\, healing\, or quiet solidarity.\nFor allies\, showing up matters because LGBTQ+ people should not have to carry this work alone.\nAllyship means more than private support. It means standing with LGBTQ+ people in public. It means challenging harmful comments\, speaking up against bullying\, supporting inclusive policy\, and helping create safer homes\, schools\, workplaces\, churches\, and community spaces. When allies show up\, it sends a message to LGBTQ+ people across Bermuda:\nYou are not alone. You belong here. Your life has value. Your future matters. \nEvent Focus & Messaging\nThe event will include brief remarks and calls to action focused on:\n•	What IDAHOBIT is and why Bermuda is marking it now\n•	The harm caused by homophobia\, biphobia and transphobia\n•	The importance of protecting LGBTQ+ young people\n•	Mental health\, safety\, and belonging\n•	The need for stronger protections in schools\n•	The importance of respecting and protecting trans and non-binary people\n•	OUTBermuda’s Policy Manifesto and calls for social and policy change\n•	The role of allies\, leaders\, families\, faith communities\, businesses\, and public institutions\n•	Bermuda’s first national LGBTQ+ survey and research project  \nInvitation to Attend\nWe encourage you to attend and to bring someone with you.\nBring a colleague. Bring a friend. Bring a family member.\nBring someone who believes Bermuda can be more loving\, more inclusive\, and more courageous.\nThis is a public moment for Bermuda to stand together against homophobia\, biphobia and transphobia\, and to stand for dignity\, safety\, belonging\, and hope.\nLet’s continue to build the Bermuda we deserve.

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:Queere Provinz / provincia queer?
DESCRIPTION:Queeres Leben findet nicht nur in den Städten statt – es ist immer hier. Die Veranstaltung widmet sich den Erfahrungen und Lebensrealitäten les- bischer\, schwuler\, bisexueller\, trans*\, queerer und allen weiteren Menschen aus der LSBTQIA+ Gemeinschaft in Südtirol. Vorgestellt wird das Oral-History-Projekt „Immer Hier“ von Martine De Biasi\, in dem LSBTQIA+ Menschen aus ganz Südtirol ihre Lebensgeschichten erzählen; besonders im Fokus stehen ältere Generationen und Menschen aus ländlichen Regionen. \nAußerdem werden Einblicke in den Sammelband „Frauen- Geschlechter- und Queer-Geschichte: Internationale Perspektiven und lokale Verortung“ präsentiert\, der sich mit Frauen-\, Geschlechter- und Queer-Geschichte im lokalen\, kleinstädtischen und Südtiroler Kontext befasst. Ein Beitrag daraus diskutiert ein Forschungsprojekt zu frauenliebenden Frauen in Südtirol und eröffnet weitere Perspektiven auf regionale queere Geschichte. \nIm Anschluss lädt eine Podiumsdiskussion mit Vertreter*innen unterschiedlicher Organisationen und Interviewpartner*innen des Projekts „Immer Hier“ dazu ein\, über Herausforderungen\, Handlungsspielräume und Zu- kunftsperspektiven queeren Lebens im ländlichen Raum ins Gespräch zu kommen. \nWir laden herzlich ein zu einem Abend des Zuhörens\, Nachdenkens und Austauschs.
