International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, Biphobia

The Embassy flew the rainbow flag to mark the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia (IDAHOT) on 17 May 2017

In 2015, the people of Ireland historically voted in favour of legalising same-sex marriage, standing against discrimination and inequality, and voting for love and equality. In doing so, Ireland became the first country in the world to legalise same-sex marriage by popular vote.

The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade works in Ireland and abroad to protect the rights of LGBTI people. The Embassy of Ireland in Poland was proud to fly the rainbow flag on 17 May to celebrate global sexual and gender diversity and expression.
