Make a rainbow fly 

On May 17th, 2012 gays and lesbians, bisexual and transgender people, their parents and children, friends and peers in many cities around the world will let the colorful baloons fly in the sky as a symbolic move to combat homophobia. On this very day 22 years ago the World Health Organization after many years of research excluded homosexuality from the list of mental disorders.
