CSD Frankfurt 2014

Christopher Street Day in Frankfurt

“Transcend boundaries – building bridges”

Sounds.

We want to point out that we particularly want to look at the both within our community, and externally, that have not yet arrived so in the midst of society, as there are many gays and lesbians already and who are often forgotten.

Not only within the community, these are the Trans people who are still discriminated against and prevented by rigid legislation on acting out your personality. Many perceive the rules to answer a different sex than humiliating.

Likewise, older people who have just also experienced the times in which gay people were punished under § 175 solely for their sexual orientation. The fear is still deep and there are also general problems of aging, such as illness, Pflegebdürftigkeit and the loss of friends. This meet gay people in particular.

Still affected are HIV-positive people who continue to face many resentments see their status communicate even among friends and family are very cautious and therefore often have to live alone with a positive test result. Not infrequently, this leads not only to the actual disease to loneliness and psychological comorbidities.

Outside of our community are the other countries. The most recent example is Russia, with its laws and regulations to prevent the spread of homosexual content. But in Europe, we see by recurring homophobia. Finally, the statements of German Chancellor Angela Merkel, these include for adoption.

But we also want to look at the positives depend on lesbian, gay and trans people in other countries live their, their culture. What we aim for a gradual exchange and getting to know you.

In future, we want to move every year a theme particularly in the foreground and this also organize actions and bring guests to our CSD stage. The theme for 2014 applies to set yet, but we are now confident that we can fill with the CSD also political content with this concept even more and become.

In this sense, we call on all to actively participate in the Christopher Street Day and fill it with life.
