Each year on May 17th, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) people celebrate the International Day Against Homophobia (IDAHO). In more recent years we’ve seen the addition of biphobia, intersexism and transphobia (hence you’ll see some call it IDAHOBIT, to many a Lord of the Rings fan’s delight).
This year, Daniel Witthaus will be busy speaking, presenting and launching campaigns across Victoria.
