International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia (IDAHO) is marked every May 17th around the world to call for respect for lesbians, gay, bisexual and trans people worldwide; it marks the date that homosexuality was removed from the International Classification of Diseases of the World Health Organisation on May 17th 1992.
There are local events throughout the UK and the rest of the world - worth doing a web search to see if anything is on near you that you feel like supporting. Unfortunately, I have to give the London (UK) events this year a miss, as I'm ill with some kind of unpleasant viral infection at the moment - but I've been in the past and enjoyed myself.

"The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. ... Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night devoid of stars." Martin Luther King
And it is the 20th anniversary of this event today. Too bad I didn't remembered earlier. Then again, the only activity I could find was a march to commemmorate it and join the students participating of the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_University_of_Puerto_Rico_Strike . So maybe, it was not meant to be.
I hope you get better soon. That viral infection sounds like a nasty thing to have.
"We are not now that strength which in old days Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are, - One equal temper of heroic hearts, Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." Ulysses by Tennyson

I've heard of a few Gay Pride events in San Diego, Los Angeles and elsewhere. Funny, that there was no mention of IDAHO. Could be that it's not too much of a squeaky wheel, so it doesn't get much greasy attention.

The paradox has often been noted that the United States, founded in secularism, is now the most religiose country in Christendom, while England, with an established church headed by its constitutional monarch, is among the least. (Richard Dawkins, 2006)
