Gay pride this year hamburg
The whole city will shine brightly this week! For Hamburg Pride Week, the city of Hamburg as well as countless organizations, associations, volunteers and companies will make our beautiful metropolis a little bit more welcoming to celebrate our diversity in all aspects! Around the clock, you can attend queer events, listen to exciting talks and discussions, and take part in a variety of guided tours and exhibitions - all with a special focus on the diversity we live every day.
The popularity of Pride Week did not come from just anywhere: not so long ago, same-sex marriages, non-binary gender identities or non-cis-heteronormative lifestyles were rejected, frowned upon and even banned by law. In Germany, the first CSD demonstration took place in with three-digit numbers of participants.
However, the CSD movement originated in New York in the s. At the time of the beginnings of queer groups and the first gay movements, there were regular police raids and event closures in New York City, as the free expression of sexuality was not allowed. The straw that broke the camel's back took place on June 28, , on the corner of Christopher Street at the Stonewall Inn - a nondescript bar with a queer, African-American and Latino clientele.
During a spontaneous raid, riots broke out in which police abuse was violently suppressed by the bar's customers.

Shortly after the events on Christopher Street, the Gay Liberation Front was founded, which organized a demonstrative march through New York the following year, in , to commemorate the Stonewall Riots. This laid the foundations for Christopher Street Day, and in the years that followed, more and more queer groups formed to commemorate the Stonewall riots through demonstrations and protests and to campaign for the decriminalization of sexuality and gender diversity around the world.
The visibility of the Pride movement is still incredibly important for gender equality work, because even today - despite marriage for all, despite the Self-Determination Act, despite , CSD demonstrators last year in Hamburg - queer people are treated with hostility, devalued and discriminated against on a daily basis.
Many companies, authorities, public buildings and social groups fly the progressive Pride flag at this time to show solidarity with queer people. As the AStA of the TUHH, we speak out clearly and unequivocally for the rights of queer people and their equality.
For years, we have been constantly working on improving and making visible the circumstances that queer people face on campus. This year, we've printed tons of flags for you all to hang in your office windows on campus.
