"Saturday May 17, 2008, marks the International Day Against
Homophobia (IDAHO); so chosen because homosexuality was removed from
the International Classification of Diseases of the World Health
Organisation on May 17, 1990.
It's a timely day to remember that, as shown by the above map,
homosexuality is still illegal in numerous countries around the
globe.
"Gays and lesbians around the world cannot wait any longer for their
love to cease being made a crime. Many are in jail, or at risk of
being jailed. Some are being killed. This has to stop now," IDAHO
founder, French activist Louis-Georges Tin told The Advocate in
2006."
