The International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia
On May 17, 1990, World Health Organization canceled homosexuality from the list of mental illnesses, defining it for the first time "a natural variant of human behavior." Each path begins with a small step but often this process for the creation of a planet more equal, right and lovely has been interrupted and slowed down.
the data, the behavior of governments and the laws are not encouraging, but our dreams and our thoughts must not be modified or influenced negatively due to the lack of ability of states and politicians to read and interpret the future of humanity

the Rainbow Map provides a useful resource for understanding the LGBT rights situation across Europe. And the rankings provide valuable insight into how the politics of Europe have shifted in the past year. Unfortunately, what today’s news shows is a slow-down on progressive policies. A lot of these countries still have a long way to go for full-equality for their LGBTQ citizens
Interestingly, while Malta continues to feature at the number one spot for LGBT-friendliness, other countries that are typically viewed as progressive are not among the Rainbow Map’s frontrunners, including the Netherlands which actually dropped outside the Rainbow Europe top 10. Germany doesn’t even make the top 10 list even with their recent LGBTQ-friendly laws and policies enacted in the past two years.
Extending our vision to the entire globe we notice than a third of the world's states, homosexuality is a crime, in 13 there is still the death penalty for consensual relationships between persons of the same sex.
According to data gathered by the International Lesbian and Gay Association, six of the 13 states are applied nationally (Iran, Saudi Arabia, Yemen and Sudan) and two in certain provinces (Somalia and Nigeria). The number rises to eight if we also consider some areas of Iraq and Syria occupied by ISIS. in the remaining 5 states (Afghanistan, Pakistan, Qatar, UAE and Mauritania) the death penalty is provided for by law but is not used and lower penalties are applied. Last October, the UN Human Rights Council approved for the first time a resolution condemning the imposition of the death penalty on consensual relationships between persons of the same sex.
After reading that in some parts of the world injustices manage to overwhelm the power of love it is important to be "allies" and spread your thoughts, so that the colors multiply, that love multiplies, that the strength of rainbow can reach even the darkest corners and places
Being an ally is about more than silent acceptance. It’s about being there for your lesbian, gay, bi, trans and intersex (LGBTI) family members, friends, colleagues and neighbours. It’s about striving to understand their experiences, and helping them to understand yours. It’s about supporting one another in times of need. It’s about setting a positive example for others. And most importantly, it’s about creating a more inclusive and loving society where everyone is valued, no matter who they are or whom they love.
