Queer reading! It's a good time to rekindle your passion for reading, especially as we enter the mucky season. Of course, it's most fun when you can exchange ideas together and get some reading inspiration - especially here, of course, if you're not quite as familiar with queer literature. 🔥

Frequently asked questions about the CSD in Dortmund

1 What is Christopher Street Day (CSD) and why is it celebrated?

Christopher Street Day (CSD) commemorates the 1969 Stonewall riots on Christopher Street in New York. These riots marked the beginning of the modern LGBTQIA+ movement. CSD is celebrated to demonstrate for the rights and acceptance of the LGBTQIA+ community while celebrating diversity and love.

2. how can I prepare for the CSD?

Here are a few tips for preparing for the CSD:

  • Outfit: Trage bequeme Kleidung und Schuhe, die zu einem langen Tag draußen passen. Zeig gerne deine Pride-Farben!
  • Sonnenschutz: Denke an Sonnencreme, Sonnenbrille und einen Hut, um dich vor der Sonne zu schützen.
  • Verpflegung: Nimm genug Wasser mit, um hydratisiert zu bleiben. Snacks können auch hilfreich sein.
  • Verhalten: Respektiere andere Teilnehmer:innen und achte auf die Anweisungen der Organisatoren und Sicherheitskräfte​​n

3. what security measures will be taken during the CSD in Dortmund?

During the CSD in Dortmund, extensive security measures will be taken to ensure the safety of all participants. These include an increased police presence, security checks and clear emergency plans. There are also special contact points (in the form of the awareness team) for reporting incidents and contact persons for victims of discrimination and violence. So-called demo angels and stewards ensure that everything runs smoothly during the demo.

4. can I still take part in the CSD demonstration in Dortmund as a person with a walking disability?

Yes, that's possible! The CSD Dortmund team offers you a ride if you can't make the journey yourself. You must register by September 11 so that you can be guaranteed a fixed place. You can find the necessary information here.

By the way: It's #DortmundZeigtFlagge again! From September 6-14, Pride flags will be hung up all over the city 🏳‍🌈

It doesn't matter whether it's on a balcony, a window or a flagpole - the main thing is that visible signs for the acceptance of queer people hang everywhere in Dortmund! You can share your flag or the ones you spot all over Dortmund on Instagram and tag them with the hashtags #DortmundZeigtFlagge and #CSDDortmund . ✨ Free flags are available at caféplus (Gnadenort 3-5, city center) on Thursday, September 5, 4 to 6 pm and on Monday, September 9, 3 to 5 pm. Please leave a small donation 😊🤭
