Brighton & Hove’s LGBTQ+ communities and allies will come together on Saturday, 17 May for the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia & Biphobia (IDAHOBIT).
This year’s event will take place at the stairs of the Brighton Unitarian Church from 12-1pm and feature music from Brighton Gay Men’s Chorus and Rainbow Chorus, with speakers (TBC) including TNBI and intersectional activists from Queery and other key local charities.
Meg, Chair of Rainbow Chorus, which will open the event, said: “IDAHOBIT is more than a day of recognition, it’s a rallying point for communities to unite in the face of the rising hostility and roll back of hard-won rights.
“In times like these solidarity is essential. We need our allies to stand shoulder to shoulder with the trans and non binary and LGBTQ+ people to push back against the erosions of equality protections and to reaffirm that dignity, safety and justice are non negotiable.”
