Celebrating the International Day Against Homophobia, on 17 May, SOMOSGAY held the Kiss-in 2013 from 11:00 in front of the National Congress. The event intends calls to all gay , lesbian and heterosexual couples who wish to join this activity to demonstrate that love unites us and should not be grounds for discrimination . Also everyone who wishes may take part in an impromptu dance called "Global Rainbow- Flashmob " to be held that day.
The May 17, 1989 , the World Health Organization stated that homosexuality is not a disorder or a mental illness, but a legitimate expression of human sexuality, but despite that this prejudice still exist. Since then, this date is remembered in a global event, organized by the International Lesbian , Gay, Transgender , Bisexual and Intersex Association (ILGA ) and the International Committee of Day Against Homophobia ( IDAHO ) .
Homophobia reinforces a culture of rejection of people with different sexual orientations. SOMOSGAY seeks to banish homophobia; the irrational thinking towards gay, lesbian, bisexual and trans, stigmatizing these groups, putting them in a position of inferiority, taking away rights, acting from the deepest ignorance.
As part of this global initiative in Paraguay, the Kiss-in 2013, also seeks to sensitize the citizens to take advantage of this day to revive the hope, diversity and peace in the world, without distinction of sex, gender, or of any kind.
