Show solidarity: Straight Against Hate parade for queer rights!

Ebertstraße, 10117 Berlin, Deutschland - The preparations for the "Straight Against Hate" parade next Saturday, July 19th, are in full swing. The Summer of Queerfulness campaign alliance organizes this special event, which is aimed specifically at CIS-sex heterosexual allies. As Siegessäskläl is clear: Solidarity needs visibility, especially in times of right back in our society.

The organizers Cornelia Fleck and Nathalie Krüger emphasize that it is time that heterosexual people actively position themselves and show their solidarity with the queer community. Many hetero cis hesitate to express themselves clearly. The parade should set an example that this group is also ready to fight against discrimination and for the visibility of queer people.

solidarity and visibility

With various actions, including a postcard campaign, LGBTIQ* are invited to appreciate and encourage their allies. Use the hashtag #straighttagainsthat on social media to show your support. However, the parade is not only open hetero Allies. Groups that show solidarity, so -called "solo cows", are expressly welcome. These include, for example, parents with their trans children, gays and gabys or the collective group "Dyke on Bike" with their "Boy Buddy".

a historical review of queer rights

The struggle for equality and visibility of the LGBTQI*community has a long history that goes back to the Empire. The historical review, as he is documented in a contribution by Deutschlandfunk Kultur Are part of our society.

From the beginnings of the movement, starting with Karl Heinrich Ulrichs in 1867, to Magnus Hirschfeld's foundation of the first homosexual organization to the fights in the FRG, history has taken many turns. Even if progress has been made since 2001, experts warn on vigilance and emphasize the need to actively stand up for the rights won.

Especially today, when queer -hostile crimes have reached a new high, the urgency is evident in solidarity together and fighting against hostility. Many historians warn that achievements that were often tediously fought are not a matter of course and can be lost at any time.

The "Straight Against Hate" parade on July 19 is not just a celebration, but an urgently needed step to take action for the rights of all queer people and to become active against the increasing enemy. If you also want to be part of this important event, come over and show your solidarity!
