No one should face harassment, discrimination, or violence for being who they are.
May 17th is International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia. TOI joins many around the world to take a stand against the violence and discrimination experienced by lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex people, and all other people with diverse sexual orientations, gender identities or expressions, and sex characteristics.
TOI is committed to building strong, inclusive communities. Are you, or do you have a child that’s part of the LGBTQ community or have a question about sex, gender, sexuality, or relationships?
