May 17th is IDAHOBIT Day - International Day Against LGBTQIA+ Discrimination. IDAHOBIT is the anniversary of May 17, 1990 - the day the World Health Organisation removed homosexuality from the Classification of Diseases. The first IDAHOBIT was held in 2005 - and to date is acknowledged by millions of people around the world. While IDAHOBIT has evolved over these years - the purpose of this day remains the same. To celebrate the progress made, whilst also raising awareness for the discriminations that LGBTQIA+ people still face to this day.
Head to the IDAHOBIT website for some wonderful resources, stories & allyship HERE.
In acknowledgement of IDAHOBIT day, we have popped together some gentle reminders . Because YOU are seen, you are valid, you are LOVED.
You are loved, wholey & completely - for all that you are.
I deserve love, I deserve peace, I deserve rest.
I will treat myself with kindness - always.
Are you good enough? YES YOU ARE.
I love & accept myself.
I am proud of who I am and embrace my true self.
I will NOT compare myself to strangers online.
My voice deserves to be heard.
Love, Tibbs xxx
