Gay Pride Germany is referred to locally as CSD, which is the acronym for Christopher Street Day. Honoring the Stonewall Riots, which took place at the Stonewall Inn on Christopher Street, Greenwich Village, June 1969, CSD pays homage to all those who fought for LGBTQ rights and global recognition. Each year, normally from June through to August, Germany comes out to play in rainbow, with a host of gay prides taking place in different cities across the country. While Berlin Pride, Hamburg Pride, and Cologne Pride are lauded as the largest and most festive gay prides in Germany, plenty of other cities also show their respect to the community through CSD. CSD Germany is as much a political demonstration, as it is a celebration, meaning plenty of speeches and political mottos are included each year. So what are you waiting for? Openly experience your pride in Germany, and pencil in these gay prides for the year.
