Louis-Georges Tin (born 1974) is a French academic,[1] gay rights campaigner, and anti-racist activist.

[2] Tin is noted for initiating the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia,[2][3] now marked in over 130 countries across the world,[4] and co-founding the Representative Council of Black Associations (CRAN).

[1] Tin was the editor of The Dictionary of Homophobia: a Global History of Gay & Lesbian Experience, first published in French in 2003 and later in an English translation.

At a time when the globalization of the world’s economy is on every national agenda, it is vital that we remain conscious of its political, ethical, and philosophical ramifications, which include equal rights for all.

The first IDAHO was celebrated for the first time on May 17, 2005, fifteen years to the day after the World Health Organization decided to remove homosexuality from the list of mental illnesses; it was launched simultaneously in over forty countries, from Brazil to Russia, by way of Kenya, Canada, Portugal, and Lebanon.
