The International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia 2013 is here !

We are happy and proud to report that this year more than ever activists, individuals, institutions, churches, etc.. are taking action against homo/transphobia in some 100 countries around the world.

From everywhere around the world, we have received pictures and messages to mark the Day, and we have edited them into a mosaic – or “Rainbow World Map” – which you can see below. We have edited a few special contributions into ‘postcards’ which you can discover by clicking on any one of them. Have a world tour of faces and thoughts against homophobia and transphobia !
