Acknowledging IDAHOBIT, a day to stand for inclusion and visibility - things weโre passionate about at EQ ๐๐
Today is the International Day Against LGBTQIA+ Discrimination! ๐
Why May 17? It was on this day in 1990 that homosexuality was removed from the WHO Classification of Diseases - a historic step towards inclusion. Three decades later, despite how far weโve come, the LGBTQIA+ community unfortunately still faces discrimination.
Days like today offer all of us the opportunity to visibly stand against discrimination. LGBTQIA+ community and allies alike, today we take action to make the world more inclusive.
This year, we couldnโt be prouder of the massive wave of allyship, pride, and visibility weโve seen across workplaces, schools, and communities.
To every single person whoโs gone rainbow: you have sent SUCH a vital message of hope, support, and safety to the LGBTQIA+ community.
Whether you wore a rainbow ribbon, started a conversation, hosted a fundraiser, shared IDAHOBIT online, or hung up a poster, thank you. Each action contributes to building a more inclusive future.
Thank you for showing up proudly with us!
