May 17 is International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia.
We all have a part in speaking out against hate and discrimination. Take the time to learn about the issues facing 2SLGBTQI+ people worldwide.
Homosexual activity is still illegal in 65 countries and rates of violence perpetrated against trans people are alarmingly high. In those countries where discriminatory laws persist, individuals are vulnerable to the risk of arrest, prosecution, and imprisonment.
We stand with the 2S and LGBTQI+ communities, and firmly against all forms of homophobia, biphobia, and transphobia.
The LGBTIQ2S+ Global Solidarity Fund strives to advance the rights, dignity, and inclusion of le***an, gay, bisexual, trans, intersex, q***r, and Two-Spirit people around the world.
