So, you think Idaho means “sun coming up over the mountains”? It means something quite different on an international stage, thanks to Louis-Georges Tin, editor of the Dictionnaire de l’homophobie. Last year, Louis-Georges & friends launched the first IDAHO: International Day Against Homophobia on May 17, the 15th anniversary of the day the World Health Organization removed homosexuality from its list of mental disorders. A second observance is scheduled this May 17. And you thought IDAHO meant “I Do Anything Hagadone Orders?”
