Queer associations and initiatives in Mainz
Here you will find an overview of queer associations and initiatives in the state capital Mainz.
Homophobia and transphobia are still present. A look at the international situation makes it clear that persecution and violence continue to dominate the everyday lives of many lesbian, transgender, intersex, and gay people. More than 65 countries have laws that discriminate against people with an LGBTIQ background, including the death penalty.
In Mainz, associations and initiatives are working to engage in dialogue with people who have experienced problems or persecution because of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
In the city of Mainz, the following institutions currently offer voluntary counseling for people with an LGBTIQ background:
