The International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia is observed every year on 17 May all over the world to commemorate the day when the World Health Organization declassified homosexuality as a mental disorder in 1990. Since 2004, the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia has received official recognition from international institutions like the European Parliament.
