RainbowFlash2010 - IDAHO 2010
Launch rainbow baloons on May 17th - join the International RainbowFlash 2010, wherever you are!
On May 17th, 2009 the International RainbowFlash Initiative marked its launch in many cities all over the world to celebrate diversity and combat homophobia by letting the baloons fly in the sky. In Russia RainbowFlash became the first mass LGBT community street action ever. The most crowded flashmob happened in St. Petersburg with 250 participants. Read report on IDAHO website.
The movement goes on.
On May 17th, 2010 gays and lesbians, bisexual and transgender people, their parents and children, friends and peers in many cities around the world again will let the colorful baloons fly in the sky as a symbolic move to combat homophobia. On May 17th, 20 years ago the World Health Organization after many years of research excluded homosexuality from the list of mental disorders.
Be a part of the RAINBOWFLASH 2010 - make a rainbow fly over your city!
What is needed for the easiest LGBT action:
