IDAHO 2009: One Voice, One Message
This video was created as part of the International Day Against Homophobia & Transphobia (IDAHo), using clips submitted by individuals from around the world. It was an interesting idea, though seemed slightly off to me. Ultimately this relates to one indisputable fact: Homophobia wanes when people personally know someone who is gay or lesbian. Imagine if one day there’s a video like this that takes hours to get through because there are so many proud, out people. Better yet, imagine a day when this sort of things is totally unnecessary. While we’re a long way from that day, videos like this help.

"Homophobia wanes when people personally know someone who is gay or lesbian." Well, yeah - feel the same way about racism.

That's true. Hatred only exists in the third person "I hate them." Most people can't say "I hate you" for what you're born as—or even religion most of the time. The trick is to get more people to see the person first.
