Plight of gay asylum seekers to be highlighted on IDAHO

Details of more events marking the International Day Against Homophobia have been announced.

IDAHO is held every year on May 17^th, the day in 1990 that homosexuality was removed from the list of mental illnesses by the World Health Organisation.

There are 77 countries where being gay is against the law, and gay, bisexual and lesbian people face discrimination across the globe. IDAHO calls for the universal decriminalisation of homosexuality.
