To mark the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT) on May 17, Bengaluru-based diplomats from the UK, Australia, Germany, Switzerland, France, Denmark, and Israel gathered in front of the State Central Library in Cubbon Park in Bengaluru on Thursday (May 16) with pride flags and saying “Love is love” in their respective languages.
IDAHOBIT aims to coordinate international events that raise awareness that LGBT+ rights are human rights. The theme this year is “No One Left Behind: Equality, freedom, and justice for all”.
On Friday (May 17), diplomatic missions in Bengaluru, such as the British Deputy High Commission, will use their social media handles to highlight the importance of LGBT rights and their activities in the past year to advance LGBT engagement.
