The views and opinions expressed here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic.

On May 17th, also known as International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia (IDAHOTB), Western University posted a graphic featuring two women in hijab who appeared as if they were about to kiss. The university immediately faced outrage from Ontario’s local Muslim community. Many Muslims condemned the poster stating that the content was “inappropriate” and “disrespectful” because the hijab holds religious and spiritual connotations. The backlash forced the removal of the post from the University’s social media pages after a petition against the imagery received over 2,000 signatures. A local Muslim leader, Imam Abd Alfatah Twakkal, stated, "While we appreciate that the intent is to promote inclusion, the poster is doing the opposite. Singling a Muslim religious symbol in that setting is inappropriate." Opiyo Oloya, a diversity and equity specialist for the university, said "We believe this presents an opportunity for genuine, thoughtful discussion about how we can best support members of the Queer Muslim community and those from all faiths and backgrounds within the 2SLGBTQ+ community." "In order to promote that discussion, we have removed the image from the post to not distract from these important conversations."
In the end, it seems Western University's promotion of the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia resulted in submitting to Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia.
