IDAHO

It was a day of celebration and reflection in Katoomba today.  This wonderful joyful choir were part of the IDAHO (International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia event.

President of the United States of America, Barack Obama, today issued an official statement in support of the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia.  The statement speaks of an American commitment to the human rights and dignity of the LGBT community, and also notes that ‘all people deserve to live free from fear, violence, and discrimination.’ 

At the start of the day's celebrations, there was a flag raising ceremony of the Rainbow Flag at the Council Chambers - Civic Place.  The Mayor of the Blue Mountains spoke in support of Gay Marriage in Australia and equality for all people.  It was a poignant and import message.

The choir reinforced the message in the most powerful way through their music.
