International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia & Biphobia 2022

Today we join with partners, friends, and community members around the world to recognize the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia & Biphobia.

While the rights of 2SLGBTQI+ people have seen significant advancements and recognition in recent years, we know that progress remains uneven and often inequitable.

This year’s theme, “Our Bodies, Our Lives, Our Rights”, serves as a reminder that every individual has the right to live freely as their authentic self, safe from the dangers of systemic discrimination.

While we celebrate sexual and gender diversity today, along with the incredible societal contributions of gay, bi, queer, trans, 2S and non-binary people, we stand firmly opposed to the stigma, abuse and persecution faced by members of the 2SLGBTQI+ community here at home and around the globe.

Today is an opportunity to reflect and to deepen our understanding of the diversity of sexualities and gender identities that comprise our wonderful community.

We celebrate you all and we stand with you!
