May 17: International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia

UTBM is committed to combating discrimination

This day originated in Quebec.
In 2003, the Fondation Émergence established the first National Day Against Homophobia. Since then, an awareness campaign has been held every year.
Other organizations have adopted this day, and it is now celebrated in many countries.

May 17 is a symbolic date for gay people.
Homosexuality was removed from the World Health Organization’s (WHO) list of mental disorders on May 17, 1990.
