Iceland IDAHO Report 2013

Surely amongst the year’s most beautiful photographs is a set shared online by Samtökin’78, an Icelandic LGBTQI organisation, on May 17. Participants of the group encouraged people to fly the flag throughout different municipalities in the country, receiving diverse contributions, including one featuring Katrín Jakobsdóttir, Iceland’s Minister of Education, Science and Culture (right, in the image from Reykjavik below). Media such as the Reykjavik Grapevine also reported with interest that Iceland ranked 10th in Europe for gay and trans rights, according to the EU’s Fundamental Rights Agency published on the Day.
