Imbarco Immediato, an LGBT organization in the Italian-speaking part of Switzerland, has created a Facebook page called “Mi piace dire no all’omofobia” (I like saying no to homophobia) and is inviting supporters to click on the “I like” icon on the page in order to gather a maximum of “likes” by May 17’s IDAHO.

In Ireland, there was unprecedented mobilisation from activists from organisationsBelongTo and the Gay and Lesbian Equality Network (GLEN) for IDAHO this year.

Activists in Fiji persisted with events despite police at the cancelling of a permit that was given to march in commemoration of IDAHO.

For the first time in Armenia’s history, activists held a nationwide LGBT month from April to May, with a range of events that included the 2012 IDAHO celebrations.

In marking IDAHO 2012, Governor Ric Todd announced that the laws of the Turks and Caicos Islands would be reviewed for any that discriminate against people based on their sexuality, and a diversity policy would be implemented to prevent discrimination in the public service.
