Today, we mark the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia, a global moment of solidarity and resistance for LGBTQIA+ communities.

⚫65 UN member States still criminalise consensual same-s*x s*xual acts.
⚫ At least 62 restrict freedom of expression on s*xual orientation, gender identity and expression, and s*x characteristics issues.
⚫ Legal gender recognition based on self-determination is only available in 18 countries at the national level.
⚫Only 9 UN member States restrict unnecessary medical interventions on inters*x minors at the national level.

Thus, this year's theme from International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia is "At the Heart of Democracy".

Democracy is built in parliaments just as much as in schools, public squares, community centres, and online spaces, by people who refuse to be erased.

To learn more about this year's theme and to get involved, check out may17.org

Today is Red Dress Day, also known as the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls and Two-Spirit People. Started in 2010, the event uses empty red dresses to symbolize the lost lives of Indigenous folks who have been victims of violence.

Today we raise awareness, demand justice, and support Indigenous-led efforts to end this violence. We encourage everyone to check out the new toolkit from Native Women's Association of Canada and learn about events and initiatives happening in your community.

This Le***an Visibility Day, we celebrate all le****ns — especially those living at the intersections of race, disability, class, trans identity, and more. Visibility means recognizing that every identity shapes our experiences, struggles, and joys. You belong, your story matters, and your voice enriches our communities.

[ID: On a light blue background, dark blue text reads, “Le***an Visibility Week. Smaller black text with pink highlights reads, “Le***an identities are vibrant and diverse - butch, femme, masc, trans, nonbinary, or no label at all. Every identity is valid. You belong.” Underneath, there is a cartoon of 6 raised fists in various pink, red, and orange hues.]
