Queer Life Stories

The Forum Demokratie Düsseldorf, in cooperation with Queere Geschichtet(n) Düsseldorf e.V. and Aidshilfe Düsseldorf e.V., invites you on November 15th to a journey through the last 60 years of LSBTIQ history. Participation is free. This event is for everyone who counts themselves as part of the LSBTIQ community: Become part of our journey through the last 60 years of LSBTIQ history and bring your own experiences. As a storyteller, you will bring selected points of this journey to life and share your personal experiences. We are interested in reports from historical witnesses as well as young and current perspectives and experiences. Which story from your life would you like to tell? We can imagine the following topics: § 175 StGB, women's rights, relationship models, love, sexuality, family of origin, rainbow families, friendships, housing, work, engagement and networks, patriarchy, gender roles, transitions, celebrations, coming out, intersectionality. From our own experiences and many conversations with different people from the LSBTIQ world, we know that there is little contact and connection between the individual groups of the LSBTIQ community. We want to change that and create a trusting space with this event where people from all parts of the LSBTIQ spectrum can meet – across generations, identities, and life paths.
