IDAHOTB DAHOT International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia

Between 200 and 300 lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people attended a pride parade on Saturday (August 3), in the highlight of Kampala’s week-long Pride Festival. The event proceeded peacefully in only the second time that a pride parade has been held in the country.

Trinidad and Tobago was the subject of a new study, launched especially on the eve of International Day Against Homophobia & Transphobia, which found that a majority of the country’s people (57%) were either tolerant or accepting of LGBT people.

Transgender Europe’s project ’Transrespect Versus Transphobia Worldwide’ (TvT) is set publish a special update to their widely acclaimed series of publications – the Trans Murder Monitoring (TMM) reports – for IDAHOT 2013.
