Nuremberg flies its flag on the international day against homophobia, bi-, trans- and interphobia

The city of Nuremberg would like to set an example against homophobia, biophobia, transphobia and interphobia.

Therefore, on May 17th, among other things, rainbow flags hang on the town hall. 

Nuremberg - Monday (May 17) is the international day against homophobia, bi-, trans- and interphobia (IDAHOBIT).

Since 2005, attention has been drawn to LGBTIQ hostility and discrimination on this day every year.

The city of Nuremberg * is therefore also flying its flag: the city hall will be flagged with the rainbow flag on Monday (May 17th) to promote solidarity and mutual tolerance.

Nuremberg shows its colors: commemorating homosexual victims of National Socialism

Nuremberg's Lord Mayor Marcus König will also take part in the memorial event for homosexual victims of National Socialism on Monday at 6 p.m., announced the city of Nuremberg in a message.

The organizer is the Nuremberg Alliance against Homophobia and Transphobia.

The event will take place on Magnus-Hirschfeld-Platz, at the memorial stele for homosexual victims of National Socialism, and will be broadcast on the Internet at www.diversitymedia.info/live.

Nuremberg: The city wants to set an example - the US partnership is also part of it

The international day against homo-, bi-, trans- and interphobia, which has existed since 2005, relies on the clear message: Nobody loses their rights if they are granted to everyone. Despite extensive legal equality, it is still not possible everywhere in Germany to profess one's homosexuality, to live in the opposite sex or to cross gender boundaries. As before, people who come out experience rejection and even violence - be it with family or friends, at work or in public and on the Internet.

With the flagging, the city of Nuremberg * as a city of peace and human rights is also sending a visible sign of diversity and solidarity.

Nuremberg's US twin city Atlanta is also participating in the campaign and will also be flagging the city administration buildings there with rainbow flags.
