Reflections on IDAHOBIT and the culture of country music in Australia
On May 17th the CMAA and many of our members joined thousands of Australians in celebrating IDAHOBIT (International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia). The date marked the 34th anniversary of The World Health organisation’s removal of homosexuality from the classification of diseases.
Supporting IDAHOBIT is just part of the CMAA’s One…but many campaign, an initiative of our Diversity Committee. We are delighted by the overwhelmingly positive and supportive response from our membership so far, and we believe that One…but many can achieve its goal of stamping out sexism, racism, discrimination, homophobia, transphobia, ageism and bullying within the country music community.
