Celebrate world International Day Against Homophobia - Join the global Kiss In!
Next Monday, May 17th, is IDAHO day. This date was chosen because it is the anniversary of the World Health Organisation’s May 1990 decision to remove homo-sexuality from its list of mental disorders. This was a historic step towards considering freedom of sexual orientation and gender identity as a fundamental basic human right. Cities throughout he world will be holding Kiss In events to celebrate.
The CWU's Education Department has kindly agreed to erect a permanent memorial in the Alverscot gardens to all those from the LGBT community who have suffered persecution simply because of their sexual orientation/gender identity.All contributions are welcome. They can be sent to me at HQ. Thank you to our LGBT committee for bringing this project to fruition.
