On 17 May 1990, the World Health Organization removed homosexuality from its list of mental illnesses. Now, this day is International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia – or IDAHOBIT. IDAHOBIT was created in 2004 to draw attention to the violence and discrimination experienced by LGBTQI+ people in the world.
