Evening Group Facilitators
![Today is International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Interphobia & Transphobia 2022 (IDAHoBIT)! The theme this year is "our bodies, our lives, our rights".The bodies, lives, and rights of LGBTQ+ people are commonly seen as political tools, and areas for debate. While pretty much everything is political, that's not the reason for our existence. We aren't here to be a thought experiment for people far removed from LGBTQ+ reality. We aren't here to answer intrusive questions about our bodies or to defend ourselves from wild accusations, while we're busy fighting for our safety and our health.We're people, here to live our lives like anyone else. We all deserve safety and dignity for our bodies, our lives, and our rights![Image description: A vibrant orange background with three lines of white text at the centre, reading: "OUR BODIES, OUR LIVES, OUR RIGHTS". The second word of each line is bold, written in orange font outlined in white. At the right is the butterfly Proud2Be logo. Below the text, a much smaller line reads "IDAHOBIT 2022".]](https://www.proud2be.org.uk/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
