Hop Against Homophobia, Bi- and Transphobia 2015!



Today, May 17th, is the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia. Groups around the world will be celebrating the day in various ways and you can follow it all through the IDAHOT page: http://www.dayagainsthomophobia.org/

We, 117 writers, publishers, reviewers, cover designers, and other people involved in the making of LGBT books, want to make an effort as well by sharing messages with our readers and other blog visitors. This is the hop's fourth year, and in our prior years we've had huge success in reaching a diverse group of people around the globe. We've decided to do it again, because there's no sense messing with success, right? We encourage you to visit all the hop locations. There will be an LGBT-related prize at each stop.

From the all volunteer staff here at HAHABT, we want to take a moment to extend our gratitude to all who have donated, be it in time, prizes to give away on their blogs, or simply the courage to stand up for what we here at HAHABT believe to be an invaluable message of acceptance.

Thank you,
Hop Against Homophobia, Bi- and Transphobia 2015

  1. This is one of my favorite blog hops, it's amazing to see all the participants. I'm glad to see your focus on transphobia because I too see too many amazing young people dying.

    1. Thank you, Alison. That's always nice to hear, especially when there are so many blog hops jumping up each year. πŸ˜‰ We've had far more support than we ever expected that first year when we were throwing the idea around. We really appreciate all the support & enthusiasm from people like you.
      Hugs
