Canmore Raises Pride Flag

On May 17, 2025, people around the world come together to recognize a day dedicated to addressing and raising awareness about discrimination and violence faced by LGBTQIA+ individuals.
IDAHOBIT began in 2004 to commemorate the 1990 declassification of homosexuality as a mental disorder by the World Health Organization, aiming to expose violence and discrimination.
The 2025 theme, "The power of communities," honors the resilience and collective solidarity among LGBTQIA+ activists, allies, and human rights defenders amid rising anti-rights movements.
ILGA World reports that 64 UN member states criminalize same-sex relations, while some countries like Mali and Trinidad and Tobago have recently tightened restrictions, prompting urgent calls to act.
This day urges global solidarity to confront increasing legislative rollbacks, public vilification, and efforts to erase LGBTQIA+ people, emphasizing that silence is complicity and communities must resist.
