For the first time since 2019, the full extent of the CSD demo in Cologne took place in 2022.

More than 1.2 million people celebrated on the streets of Cologne.

Cologne – For a long time, people in Cologne, North Rhine-Westphalia and the surrounding area had been waiting to once again set a colorful example against discrimination and exclusion and for diversity and self-determination.

On July 3, 2022, it was finally time again when the big CSD demo took place at the end of the roughly two-week Cologne Pride 2022.

Also there: over 180 groups, over 60,000 participants and over 100 volunteer car angels, reports 24RHEIN.

Quite apart from the approximately 1.2 million people who followed the hustle and bustle in Cologne on the side of the road.

"This year's CSD demo was a demo of superlatives," write the organizers and say a few words of thanks to the LGBTIQ community.

"Thanks to everyone who helped make the demo such a success."

And that despite minor imponderables, which posed challenges for the organizers and party participants at the same time.

For example, the planned live act Tim Bendzko canceled for a short time - but was, how could it be otherwise, represented outstandingly by the Bläck Fööss.

And the overcrowding of the "Dance Stage" (dance stage), which the organizers even had to explicitly point out again on Facebook, did not spoil the good mood.

The whole of Cologne was wrapped in rainbow colors and showed that people are never above taking a political position.

Speaking of politics: NRW head Hendrik Wüst was present, as was Cologne's mayor Henriette Reker.

By the way, if you missed the whole thing, you will find it on YouTube: There you can watch the entire live broadcast of the five-hour demo train again.

And the date for next year's Cologne Pride has already been set: on July 9, 2023, the next big street demonstration will take place in the city centre.

And will certainly ensure one or the other superlative.
