This year's International Day Against Homophobia (IDAHO) will be marked by serveral events in Hong Kong. The theme of this year's IDAHO is "Religions, homophobia, transphobia".
Across the world, in many different social and cultural contexts, homophobic and transphobic violence is being propagated by people who use religious arguments to justify their positions.
The objective of this campaign is to expose and oppose the negative impact of religious fundamentalist discourses and to give visibility and promotion to voices who are working for inclusion, tolerance and peace.
Here are the events taking place during IDAHO Hong Kong 2010:
