Our self-image
Homophobia and racism are just two of the many forms of discrimination that exist in our society. Those affected by "just" one of these two already have a tough time. However, if a person experiences both forms of discrimination, or even more, they are exposed to double or even multiple forms of suffering from various sources. They may experience racism in institutions and society; and, in turn, homophobia from their own family or community, in shelters, or in public life.
This intersectionality is unfortunately often overlooked in everyday social and political life. As a result, queer refugees, people of color (BIPoC), and migrants are left to fend for themselves. They are often forced to either suppress their queer side and thus deny an integral part of their identity, or to conform, which exposes them to intense paternalism.
However, we firmly believe that both parts of our identity can coexist without contradiction.
We create our own spaces
Therefore, it is our mission to create these missing necessary spaces and offers.
Our offerings are aimed at all queer people who have experienced racism. However, some events are also open to everyone to promote shared dialogue and build solidarity and diversity . Thanks to our years of experience, we operate in an interdisciplinary and multi-perspective manner:
Our diverse spectrum includes, among other things, educational policy work, support with questions, conflicts or solution orientation, differentiated discussion offers and empowerment within the framework of counseling for adults, parents and relatives, educational and public relations work, educational events, cultural festivals as well as the implementation of training courses, awareness-raising, further training and workshops for the wider society.
If you are interested, please contact us and together we will find the right offer for you.
