CSD weekend inspires: Frankfurt, Rostock and Trier celebrate loudly!
Last weekend, the mega event of the year was celebrated in several German cities: the Pride demonstrations. The Christopher Street Day (CSD) took place in Frankfurt am Main under the motto “Never be quiet again – Frankfurt is loud”. While the police counted around 8,000 participants, up to 25,000 people were expected. The colorful festival has been running in the Main metropolis since Thursday and ends on Sunday with a variety of events at which a total of around 150,000 visitors are expected. A street festival with stages, information and food miles as well as a family area ensured an exuberant atmosphere and a peaceful event. As team.com reports, there was a large customer meeting on the Römerberg, followed by a demonstration through the city center.
But it wasn't just celebrated in Frankfurt. Things also went well in Rostock. Under the motto "We are everywhere. Never quiet again," the police spoke of around 5,500 participants. The CSD started with speeches on the Neuer Markt and ended with a colorful program in the city harbor that included stands, discussions and hands-on activities. Here too, the event was peaceful and culminated with an official closing party in the M. A. U. Club.
CSD in Trier: A strong sign of equality
Particular attention was paid to the CSD in Trier, which took place under the motto “Our Pride Fights for Rights”. As zeit.de reported, authorities counted more than 1,000 people taking part in the demonstration, with additional protesters during the procession. Prime Minister Alexander Schweitzer (SPD), who was present, also spoke about the importance of equality, and actively supports non-traditional gender roles and the queer community. In his speech, he mentioned the state action plan “Rhineland-Palatinate under the Rainbow,” which aims to promote the rights and visibility of queer people.
Although the event was attended by over 1,000 enthusiastic participants, there was also a registered counter-demo where fewer than five people showed up. This shows that solidarity and support for the queer community in Trier is strong.
The discussion about the rights of the queer community will remain exciting in the coming days, as these events are a key to change and visibility. The joint demonstration in Trier showed once again that many people are committed to equality and acceptance - an important step in the right direction on the way to a more inclusive society.
