“It is a tragic truth that violence and discrimination continue to be a part of everyday life for millions of LGBTIQ+ people around the world. They face an onslaught of hate speech, attacks, and restrictions on their rights. Meanwhile, funding cuts for critical health services and civil society organizations threaten further devastating impacts,” #UnitedNations Secretary-General antonioguterres said on Saturday’s International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia. He calls on all of us to come together and realize the vision of a world where every member of our human family can live a life of freedom, equality, and dignity: “Working as one, we must push to repeal discriminatory laws, combat violence and harmful practices, and end the scapegoating of marginalized communities.” #IDAHOBIT
