Schwule Sau

My boyfriend and I have been ostracized here multiple times, simply because we apparently didn't conform to the thinness ideal of certain cliques. We were whispered about, laughed at, stared at, and pointed at, only to be secretly amused when they saw how much it hurt us. That's called body shaming! No thanks, we really don't want any discrimination, we're definitely not coming back.

I turned 18 on June 27th and decided to go to the Gay Pig with a friend for the summer party. I drove home from the Pig about an hour ago, and I just have to write this. I've never seen a place with so much love and passion. I saw two men kissing without a shred of fear. I saw two people who were so incredibly proud of their bodies and danced like there was no tomorrow. And it was absolutely beautiful. I'm actually quite shy about my body, but the courage of these people was contagious. I danced with so many people and talked to so many. I drank and wasn't afraid at all that anyone would hate me for it. I was truly, truly proud of myself for the first time. And even when my friend was in trouble, we received so much help, and five people took care of us. I've never seen such a willingness to help. This community empowered me. All my anxieties about my gender identity vanished for those few hours because I felt truly safe. In those five hours, I discovered a new side of myself. I learned so much that night. It was the best night of my life. Thank you so much, Gay Bastard. Love from the redhead Ben. See you next time. I can't wait.

The place to be in Hannover 👌🏼

Nice - cozy -

The Neon Party on March 21, 2026 was amazing, great DJ, amazing atmosphere even though it started a little late in the main hall.

I've been a regular at the Gay Pig club for over 30 years, but I find the way things have developed very problematic. I've been the target of physical assault on several occasions. I was punched in the stomach on the dance floor and, in another instance, pushed down a flight of stairs – without me being the instigator. Additionally, I've repeatedly witnessed heavily intoxicated patrons harassing others without sufficient intervention. In a recent incident, I was also approached and harassed by a drunk patron. The situation was resolved for me afterward. Nevertheless, the awareness team sent a staff member who repeatedly and very forcefully demanded a conversation with me, even though I clearly stated that I didn't want to. I felt this was a violation of boundaries. For me, there's a clear lack of respectful interaction and a reliable sense of security here. Support should be offered – not pressured. At the same time, boundaries should apply equally to all patrons.

I went to the Saukerlebar on Thursday; it was well-attended and a great evening. I hope it happens again soon! What I find a bit of a shame, though, is that the Schlagersau (a German music event) is held so rarely. It's always packed and the atmosphere is fantastic; it should happen more often!

Simply cool

Not clean, cold. Never again.

I like the wall tampon they put in as part of the new paint job

It's alright for an evening out, although it's a queer scene with a lot of lesbians, but that seems intentional, hence the derogatory name referring to gay men. If you're in Germany, it's the only place to go – I find the decor very stylish and the restrooms are very clean.

Quite ok
