Queer and antifascist – our bridges will hold!

Queer Pride Dresden fights for everyone’s safe and self-determined lives. We stand shoulder by shoulder against right-wing and hateful beliefs. We prove to us and the world: the future is ours. We overcome narrow-minded ideas about how relationships, sexuality, and people ‘ought to be’.

We want a classless society. Overcoming hard and hierarchical norms is necessary for us to be truly free. Freedom from thinking of ourselves as economic units, locked in perpetual competition, means freedom for us all.

In these times, queer and antifascist cooperation is more important than ever. Separating ourselves, pitting us against each other, making us feel weak and isolated―that’s exactly what the hate preachers want. Beyond the walls of social exclusion and the trenches of dividing hatred, we build bridges of tenderness and community. A community, that celebrates and defends diversity. We share knowledge, we learn from each other, we unite.

Together we can ensure that no one is left behind. Together we demand the right to a good and self-determined life for everyone. Together we demand that queer life is seen and safe everywhere.

Our solidarity makes us strong. Courageously, we march forward, knowing, that we can rely on each other. This is our greatest asset.

Let’s bring knowledge, community, and solidarity to the streets―on 21 June at Dresden Pride, and all over Saxony the whole summer!

We are queer, we stand together, we fight fascism!
