This year’s IDAHOBIT theme is “The power of communities”, and events will take place across the world! We encourage you to take an active role in this global mobilisation.

Illustration showing a large tree with wide branches, surrounded by diverse LGBTQIA+ people engaging in community activities under the theme “The Power of Communities.” People are shown watering the tree, painting a protest sign, playing, reading, and hanging rainbow lanterns. A small dog stands beside two people on the left. The background is a soft pink and orange gradient. The scene conveys care, solidarity, and joyful collaboration. At the bottom, the text reads “The Power of Communities.” A pink banner underneath includes “IDAHOBIT – A Worldwide Celebration of Sexual and Gender Diversities – may17.org” and a pink triangle with an exclamation mark, which is the logomark of IDAHOBIT.
The central illustration for IDAHOBIT 2025 was created by Chilean queer artist Sofía Miranda Van den Bosch, with creative direction shaped by feedback from LGBTQIA+ communities and allies around the world
