No marks for thinking that this means Ida is hot, that it is an exclamation of pain from someone who has a mouthful of superheated baked potato, or that it should simply say “Idaho”.

No, in this day of LGBTQIA, this is an acronym for a contemporary Anglican sexual obsession that people used to think of as aberrant, but are no longer allowed to.

From the Anglican Journal – where else?

The rainbow flag flew proudly over many of the world’s  town squares on May 17, the International Day against Homophobia and Transphobia (IDAHOT). But just a few days later, Australian supporters of same-sex marriage are locking horns with Sydney’s St. Andrew’s Anglican Cathedral.

Community activists are asking supporters to rally on May 21 in Sydney Square near the town hall and the cathedral to celebrate the eighth marking of IDAHOT. May 17 is the date on which the World Health Organization removed homosexuality from its International Classification of Diseases some 21 years ago.
