Gay Star News is joining forces with the UK capital’s talented LGBT singers and musicians to make a video to mark International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia (IDAHO).

Our flashmob will be filmed on Saturday (11 May) so the video can be released on 17 May for IDAHO.

The London Gay Big Band and the London Gay Men’s Chorus will be headlining the event and providing the music. And we have teamed up with talented young video artists to make the film.

But we also want you to join in whether you are gay, straight, bisexual or trans.

Gay Star News director Scott Nunn said: ‘We have readers and journalists all around the world so we know how important International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia, and the message it sends to fight hatred and discrimination, is.

‘Our performance will be a fun, colorful way to support the day and send our love to LGBT people all around the world.’

Filming will be at the Scoop, the open-air performance space by City Hall (south side of Tower Bridge, London, SE1 2DB).

Arrive at 3.30pm on 11 May to be prepped for dancing and singing or just to join the crowd.

Our flashmob will be one of a series of similar events around the world for IDAHO which has a Global Rainbow Flashmob theme.
