Hop Against Homophobia |
Homophobic discrimination is a serious issue in
every single country on this planet, no matter how big or small. Some countries
are more advanced in GLBTQ rights, while in some countries the penalty for being
a GLBTQ person is death. All over the world, GLBTQ people are shunned by
society, beat up, tortured, raped, and stripped of human rights in various ways.
What makes people believe that they have the right to strip someone of their
human rights is beyond us.
The Hop Against Homophobia is an attempt by
over 250 m/m authors, reviewers and publishers to stand together and
create awareness of homophobia. Each participating blog will feature a message
on homophobic discrimination in its various forms. The date, May 17th, was
chosen in honour of the International Day Against Homophobia.
So head on over to Hop Against Homophobia and check out the links, read the stories, be informed--and stand up against homophobia!
