Activists will gather at the JFK Memorial in downtown Dallas as part of the worldwide recognition of International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia, known as IDAHO, on May 17.
The event began in 2004 but this is the first time Dallas will participate, according to Dallas Voice.
“It’s celebrated around the world and we’ve never had one here in Dallas,” said organizer Daniel Cates.
The May 17 date was chosen by the Paris-based IDAHO committee: Although U.S. groups like the American Psychological Association had already removed homosexuality from its list of mental disorders, the World Health Organization did so on May 17, 1990.
In countries where a Pride Day celebration is banned, a demonstration against homophobia might be permitted.
In Dallas, Cates said, “We’re doing a candlelight vigil, not a loud, screaming march. Chicago is doing a boisterous protest.”
