Tattoo for Gay Men on International Day Against Homophobia – May 17

On May 17 each year, the vast majority of developed countries celebrate the International Day Against Homophobia. On this day, people with non-traditional sexual orientation, public activists and people who are not indifferent to this issue, call for attention to social stigma and harassment in a criminal and public vein, hanging labels.

If you look at ancient Greece, in the past, manifestations of homosexuality were perceived as much more commonplace than today..

The 20th century is considered the most unfavorable to sex minorities, it is worth remembering only about Nazi Germany and concentration camps, where people with non-traditional sexual orientation were marked with a pink triangle.

It is the pink triangle and the rainbow symbol that is considered a modern symbol of the LGBT community..

history of the holiday

The date was chosen based on the landmark event for the entire LGBT community – on May 17, 1990, the World Health Organization adopted a document that officially excluded homosexuality from the list of mental illnesses and deviations..

by the way

Today, about 80 countries are punished at the legislative level (criminal penalties) for homosexuality. Even before 1996, in Russia in the Criminal Code there was an article for sodomy, which implied punishment up to 8 years in prison.
