CSD Leipzig 2024

In the page's words:

"CSD" stands for Christopher Street Day. In memory of the Stonewall riots on Christopher Street in New York in 1969, the first CSD took place in Leipzig on June 28, 1992. It was a small, but all the more motivated group of people who were committed to a clear goal and wanted to stand up for equal rights for all forms of love in remembrance of the 1969 protests in New York. It was about recognition, it was about respect. The oldest CSD in East Germany was born.

Thirty years later, this idea of respect still motivates volunteers from Leipzig to organize the CSD together year after year. To this day, a small number of committed volunteers from private individuals, associations, initiatives, parties and groups organize a week of events, a street festival and a political demonstration for freedom, acceptance and diversity in the center of Leipzig every year.

In January 2023, we finally gave this action alliance a new framework and founded CSD Leipzig e.V. together with Leipzig activists from the very beginning. This replaces RosaLinde Leipzig e.V. as the logistical backbone of Leipzig CSD.
