The meaning of Christopher Street Day

The Christopher Street Day (CSD) has its origin in the Stonewall riots in New York City, which took place in 1969. These events became the nucleus of modern LGBTQIA+ movement and led people to work for their rights and acceptance worldwide. The CSD is celebrated in many cities as an important symbolic act today to draw attention to the disadvantage and discrimination against the LGBTQIA+ community and at the same time celebrate their diversity. Traunstein is involved in this global movement with its CSD and strengthens local commitment to equality and acceptance.

The motto of this year's event "Mia San Mia, Mia San Queer, Mia San Against Right" not only reflects local identity, but also represents a clear positioning against homophobia and discrimination. Such messages are particularly in times when populist and right -wing populist tendencies in many countries are increasing.
