The International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia (IDAHOT) is a day to mourn and remember those we have lost to transphobic violence, but also a day to honour and thank all those who have come before and help create a better world free of transphobia.
Launched in 2004, IDAHOT takes place each May 17th, and that day becomes a global occasion to educate and to advocate for sensible public policies regarding LGBT people.
The Queensland capital’s iconic Story Bridge was lit in the colours of the pride flag to commemorate IDAHOT, marking the first time the bridge’s colourful LED lights were used for an LGBT event.
