Queer events in Mainz
Every year on May 17, the International Day against Queerphobia, various campaigns have been held in the state capital of Mainz for several years to combat discrimination and promote acceptance of other lifestyles.
The summer heat is usually celebrated on the last weekend of July each year. This is part of the nationwide tradition of Christopher Street Day, which commemorates the discrimination, oppression, and persecution of people with an LGBTIQ background. The Mainz CSD is organized by the Schwuguntia e.V. association. In addition to organizing the CSD, the association also offers other leisure activities, such as dance classes.
The southern German LesBiSchwule choir festival was held for the first time in the state capital of Mainz from June 5 to 6, 2015. Sixteen choirs from Germany and Switzerland, with around 400 singers, enchanted the ears and eyes of their audience with their musical performances at evening concerts in the Electoral Palace.
The association Sichtbar Mainz e.V., which runs the Bar jeder Sicht, and the Frauenzentrum Mainz e.V. have their own event programs, which can be viewed on their respective websites.
The Family Diversity project of Queernet Rheinland-Pfalz organizes training events, primarily in the area of family and youth facilities.
