Cuban Campaign against Homophobia, Biphobia & Transphobia

Havana, May 18 (RHC)-- The virtual collective photo exhibition Díselo a todo el mundo (Tell Every One) was inaugurated in Cuba in the framework of the national campaign on the International Day against Homophobia, Biphobia & Transphobia.

Sponsored by the National Council on Fine Arts, the exhibition is available on social networks and the digital platforms of this cultural entity and on Jiribilla digital cultural magazine.

It compiles photos by seven artists, representatives of different generations, who address sexual orientation issues, conflicts, and the aspirations of gays, lesbians and transgender people.

Curated by arts critic Mikel Rodríguez, the collective exhibition aims to socialize and highlight a series of artistic proposals, including homoeroticism.

The International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia is observed on May 17 and aims to coordinate international events that raise awareness of LGBT rights violations and stimulate interest in LGBT rights work worldwide. By 2016, the commemorations had taken place in 132 countries.

The founders of the International Day Against Homophobia, as it was originally known, established the IDAHO Committee to coordinate grass-roots actions in different countries, to promote the day and to lobby for official recognition on May 17. That date was chosen to commemorate the decision to remove homosexuality from the International Classification of Diseases of the World Health Organization (WHO) in 1990.
