IDAHOBIT – International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia 2016

Thank you to whoever made this.

Today is International day against homophobia, biphobia and transphobia. Today we are reminded that there are so many countries that still have no laws that protect the lives of of LGBT people and some counties that still use the death penalty on “criminals” who’s only crime are loving someone.
We are constantly told that its not our problem because we live in countries that treat LGBT people with respect. This is untrue. Its everyone’s problem.
Recently even in the city of Brighton there has been a string of homophobic assaults only recently and its never mentioned but transphobia in the city is rife.
The unjust bathroom laws are still happening in places in America and guess what, in some states you can be fired still if people think you are gay. Being given same sex marriage never stopped the fight we still have to fight every day.
Whilst things are getting better, it is still hard being LGBT in this world. There are still many fights we still need to battle and we need to take each little victory where we can grab it.
