Hi @Daisydreamer
How about a topic day like the topic Tuesday?

Very Good suggestion @Daisydreamer
Very motivating I must say - Since you raised the issue, I had to look that Term/ Phrase up - To find out what it means.
I like @petrichor's Suggestion for a Topic Tuesday about it.

I also like the idea of a Topic Tuesday about IDAHOBIT and how it intersects with mental health, @Daisydreamer . I'm afraid I can't help with this one, though...

I'm interested @Daisydreamer Might be good to tell people a bit more about IDAHOBIT day in case they don't know.

31 years ago - on May 17, 1990 - the World Health Organization removed homosexuality from the Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems.
International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Interphobia & Transphobia (IDAHOBIT) celebrates LGBTQIA+ people globally, and raises awareness for the work still needed to combat discrimination.

Thanks @eth for sharing some of the history and information about IDAHOBIT day 🙂
I'm happy to hear @NatureLover @Adge @petrichor @eth that you would like a discussion on this!
There was a Topic Tuesday a while back that was stretched out over a week with a question every day. To give more people the opportunity to get involved and more visibility to IDAHOBIT Day in the forums, what are your thoughts about having a Topic Tuesday like discussion but over the week (one question per day)?

I think that's a great idea, @Daisydreamer (to have a week-long one).

Hi @Daisydreamer sorry but it turns out I'll be away that week. I'll be with my interstate transgender adult child and grandchildren so we'll get to celebrate together this year.
