What is IDAHOT?
International Day against Homophobia and Transphobia. Not only is May 17th a worldwide celebration of sexual and gender diversities, but it was set up to bring the violence and discrimination still suffered by the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) communities to the attention of policy makers and the general public. Whilst great strides have been made in the acceptance of homosexual and bisexual equalities, there is still much work to be done, as same sex acts are still illegal in 37 countries. Those in the transgender community are even more poorly understood, remaining one of the few groups who do not even have even a minimum level of social acceptance and legal equality in most modern societies across the world.

Sometimes the best way to understand some who is different from us is just listening to him or her. That's why in class we watched a video where a teenage transgender girl tells her experience and, the most important thing, tells us that WE HAVE THE POWER TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN SOMEONE'S LIFE. (Remember you can use subtitles in English or Spanish)
TED-Talks are a good opportunity to listen to real English while enjoying some inspiring and entertaining talks. Here you'll find more videos you may find interesting.
