To celebrate the International Day against Homophobia & Transphobia on 17 May 2016, UN Free & Equal asked people to help create this video.
The resulting video, with powerful music by singer-songwriter Rachel Platten, captures some of the strength and spirit that LGBT activists and allies bring to their work, and the sheer diversity of causes that help make up the movement globally. It is a celebration of activism – and a reminder of why we fight.
