Yup. They fly all the flags outside New Zealand parliament on ‘IDAHOBIT’ day each year. INTERNATIONAL DAY AGAINST HOMOPHOBIA BIPHOBIA blah blah. Next level mad. Not a day FOR THEM. A day AGAINST others. Think about that. 🧐

Aberdeenshire Council is fully captured by gender ideology. On 17 May, Provost Cllr Judy Whyte, @ProvostAbdnshre posted the following on the official council Facebook page, alongside a Pride flag: “Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia (IDAHOBIT), which takes place each year on May 17. The day commemorates the 1990 decision by the World Health Organization to remove homosexuality from its International Classification of Diseases and since then has served as a focal point for raising awareness of the violence and discrimination still faced by LGBTQIA people across the globe. IDAHOBIT is one of many awareness days we recognise throughout the year, and we raise the Pride flag today to recognise the prejudice that continues to be experienced by these groups, particularly online. This year, the theme is ‘At the heart of democracy’ which serves as a powerful reminder that truly democratic societies must be rich in meaningful equity and justice for all, fostering the flourishing of the entire community. Locally, it’s an opportunity to recognise the diversity of our communities and the importance of hearing the voices of everybody in our decision-making.” Aberdeenshire Council and Provost Whyte's commitment to “hearing the voices of everybody” is blatantly untrue. Fifteen of Aberdeenshire’s 17 secondary schools, serving around 16,000 pupils, have signed up to the LGBT Youth Scotland Charter, alongside dozens of primary schools, involving children as young as four. Charter programmes include LGBT Ambassadors, LGBTQ clubs, Purple Friday events, entire school library sections dedicated to books promoting questionable gender ideology and “inclusion” policies funded through the council’s GIRFEC framework via local groups such as Four Pillars. When repeatedly challenged on this trans activism, Aberdeenshire Council effectively abandoned its X account. Comments are also disabled on its Pride and IDAHOBIT posts on the council's official Facebook page. So much for democratic engagement and listening to all voices. This is not neutral diversity or inclusive education. It is outright ideological capture. An intolerant, one-sided indoctrination of our schools and our children, imposed by a local authority that promotes activism over impartiality, evidence, and parental consent. ⏬️

Justice is only real when it reaches everyone. From rural clinics to urban centers, @UNFPA is working to ensure health services are safe, inclusive, and free from judgment. Because your identity should never be a barrier to care. #IDAHOBIT #HumanRights #NoOneLeftBehind

UN人权高专办IDAHOBIT声明：逾三分之一国家仍将同性行为入罪🇺🇳 联合国人权事务高级专员Volker Türk于5月17日国际反恐同日发表声明，指出全球超过三分之一的国家至今仍将合意同性行为列为刑事罪行。去年，布基纳法索将同性行为入罪，塞内加尔则将刑期加倍至10年。与此同时，白俄罗斯4月刚颁布"同性恋宣传"禁令，多国LGBTQ 维权人士在喀麦隆、土耳其、印度尼西亚、摩洛哥等地遭到逮捕。 参考来源：JURIST jurist.org/news/2026/05/un-r…

Outright International：选举中的Queer政治 Outright International 研究员 Venus Aves 于 IDAHOBIT 期间发表观点文章，预告其正在进行的2026年选举研究，并披露了部分初步发现。正式报告将于2027年初发布。 该报告记录2026年选举季中LGBTQ议题的全球动态。这份报告是其2024年旗舰报告的延续，后者曾记录到在被研究的61个司法管辖区中，有51个出现了反LGBTIQ竞选活动，2024年超级选举年中约85%举行大选的国家都将仇恨带上了选票。 2026年的数据显示，这一结构性趋势并未随选举周期更替而消退。今年约有55个国家举行选举，仅进入2026年四个月，便已积累了大量政治仇同行为的案例。几个具体案例揭示了这一现象的地理跨度与手法多样性： 在乌干达一月选举前，执政党成员指控选举对手"推广同性恋"，而该项指控在当地可导致20年监禁；在秘鲁，一名极右翼总统候选人在试图推翻选举结果时，向选举委员会主席发出了具有同性恋色彩的侮辱性威胁；在德国萨克森-安哈尔特州，极右翼政党AfD推出了其迄今最极端的选举纲领，承诺彻底消灭"性别意识形态"与"彩虹教义"，包括废除性别研究项目、性别预算编制与综合性教育，且目前在民调中大幅领先；在美国，共和党人正在至少四个州将反跨性别措施列入选票。 报告同时记录了另一面：印度与尼泊尔各自选出了本国第一位公开出柜的跨性别议员——两项历史性突破发生在同一年，且均位于亚洲传统上对性别多样性态度复杂的南亚地区。 这份报告没有将LGBTQ选举政治化约为单一方向的退步叙事，而是呈现出一幅在不同政治系统中同步发生的双向运动：反LGBTQ话语的选举工具化，与queer群体在选举政治中的主体性建构，作为竞争性力量在2026年同时上升。 outright文章链接🔗： outrightinternational.org/in…

To commemorate the #IDAHOBIT this month, #OECD Secretary-General Mathias Cormann, met with GLOBE (OECD Gays, Lesbians and Others for Better Equity), an association promoting an inclusive OECD community where all sexual orientations and gender identities are welcome.

Hablen de "Muertos SL" y "Recalé" que están en Netflix. Ya pasó IDAHOBIT pero podría el #DrCuerpo hablar sobre esas fobias que la misma comunidad ejerce sobre el mismo colectivo para reconocerla y erradicarla desde adentro? Los adoro con ciega fe y nunca me pierdo un episodio.

Queer Art was thriving last week for our #IDAHOBIT exhibition at @goethejoburg. Received 250 submission from 22 countries for this. Many countries across Africa continue to tighten restrictions affecting LGBTQIA people. So this work is NB! Thanks to our partners & artists

Together with my team, we pulled off one of the largest IDAHOBIT gatherings in the city and a significant milestone for us as a regional Institut. We are beaming with PRIDE 🌈 😃 Panel discussions, workshops, film screenings, an immersive exhibition all in one space (1/2)

To mark #IDAHOBIT, #LGBTIQ communities, allies and partners in Nairobi are coming together on 28 May for an evening of dialogue, reflection and solidarity. RSVP within today to join: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…

Was pleased to join @VancouverPD Constables Kat Dauncey and Bryan Watson, along with fellow SOGD Committee member Jutta Kolhi, at @QMUNITY's annual breakfast for #IDAHOBIT (International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia). It was great to hear about the much-needed services QMUNITY provides to 2SLGBTQ individuals across BC. As a gerontologist, I was especially impressed by their work with older adults. Thanks to VPD for its ongoing support, including its collaboration with QMUNITY’s Trans ID Clinic. @VPDDiversity

Flaga UE : Dozwolona i często wymagana lub zalecana. W Polsce nie ma obowiązku ogólnego wywieszania jej we wszystkich urzędach (prawo mówi głównie o fladze RP), ale jest powszechnie akceptowana jako symbol członkostwa w UE. Od maja 2026 r. obowiązkowa obok flagi polskiej na salach sądowych (rozporządzenie MS). praw. 2. Tęczowa flaga (LGBT /Pride): Nie jest flagą oficjalną państwa ani UE (choć PE i niektóre instytucje unijne wieszały ją okazjonalnie, np. 17 maja na IDAHOBIT). W Polsce: zależy od decyzji gospodarza budynku. Bywały przypadki wywieszania na urzędach miejskich (np. Słupsk) i kontrowersje – radni krytykowali, ale sądy czasem stały po stronie (np. Łódź 2021). Nie ma ogólnokrajowego zakazu ani obowiązku. Krzyż (lub inne symbole religijne – np. półksiężyc): Dozwolony w polskim prawie – Konstytucja (art. 25, 53) gwarantuje wolność uzewnętrzniania przekonań, a państwo ma charakter „świecki”, ale nie „laicki” (jak Francja). Orzecznictwo polskie (SN, SA) uznaje, że krzyż w urzędzie/szkole nie narusza dóbr osobistych ani nie dyskryminuje, bo to element tradycji kulturowej, nie indoktrynacja. Neutralność światopoglądowa (art. 25 Konstytucji RP) oznacza brak uprzywilejowania jednej religii/światopoglądu i brak dyskryminacji, ale nie wymaga wymazywania tradycji ani wprowadzania „sterylnej pustki”. Osoba niewierząca nie ma prawa żądać usunięcia wszystkiego, co jej nie pasuje – tak jak wierzący nie może narzucać. ETPCz podkreśla pluralizm, a nie sekularyzm za wszelką cenę.
