On May 17, 1990, the World Health Organisation (WHO) removed homosexuality from the International Classification of Diseases. In 2004, this day was declared as the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia, by the UN, a number of NGOs and other international institutions.
Since then, in many places of the planet, protests and activities are organised on that day to fight for the rights of LGBT+ people.
