Today is May 17th, the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia, which is also the anniversary of the date the Goodridge decision went into effect in Massachusetts, legalizing same-sex marriage for the first time in the United States. May 17, 1954 was the day the United States Supreme Court decision of Brown v Board of Education was released.However, the official reason for picking May 17th by the founder and organizer ofthe day, Professor Louis-Georges Tin is that in 1992 the World Health Organization declassified homosexuality as a mental disorder.
Today also happens to be Long Beach Pride. Happy Homophobia (and Transphobia) Day!
