Street Days. Seit Juni 1969 hat sich viel ge\u00e4ndert und doch haben wir noch viel vor uns. Homosexualit\u00e4t steht in vielen Teilen der Welt noch \u2013 oder wieder \u2013 unter Todesstrafe und t\u00e4glich werden queere Personen angefeindet und angegriffen. Daher sind die Christopher Street Liberation Day Demonstrationen auch nach 50 Jahren noch h\u00f6chst relevant und von enormer Wichtigkeit f\u00fcr die LGBTIQ*-Gemeinschaft und den Kampf f\u00fcr unsere Rechte.<\/p><p>50 Jahre geben uns aber auch Anlass inne zu halten und uns zu fragen: wie weit sind wir seit 1969 wirklich gekommen? Welche \u201aalten\u2018 Probleme haben wir \u00fcberwunden und welche sind in den letzten Jahrzehnten neu hinzugekommen?<\/p><p>In den letzten Jahrzenten hat die Bedrohung von Leben auf diesem Planeten durch die Klimakrise stets zugenommen. Der Klimakrise mag es zwar egal sein, welche sexuelle Orientierung, oder geschlechtliche Identit\u00e4t wir haben, jedoch werden wir alle von ihr betroffen sein.<\/p><p>Schon heute leiden Personen in vielen Teilen der Welt an durch die Klimakrise verursachten Hitzewellen, D\u00fcrren, \u00dcberschwemmungen und weiteren Umweltkatastrophen. Zumeist leiden diejenigen am meisten, die am wenigsten zur Klimakrise beitragen. Und zumeist sind es diese, die sich nicht von den negativen Auswirkungen der Klimakrise freikaufen k\u00f6nnen.<\/p><p>Ironischerweise positionieren sich dabei oft die Konzerne, die in allen Teilen der Welt Menschen, nichtmenschliche Tiere und die Umwelt ausbeuten, in Europa und den USA als tolerante Unterst\u00fctzer der LGBTIQ*-Bewegung.<\/p><p>Die LGBTIQ*-Bewegung hat sich stets f\u00fcr soziale Gerechtigkeit eingesetzt. <br \/>Heutzutage ist es mehr denn je lebenswichtig, dass wir auch den Kampf f\u00fcr Klimagerechtigkeit aufnehmen. Allein die Solidarit\u00e4t mit queeren Personen in allen Teilen der Welt erfordert es, dass wir aktiv gegen die Klimakrise vorgehen, statt diese mit \u00fcberm\u00e4\u00dfigem Konsum und CO<sub>2<\/sub>-Schleudern im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes anzuheizen.<\/p><p>Deshalb fordern wir in der LGBTIQ*-Gemeinschaft und insbesondere auf den Events bei den Christopher Street Days folgende Ma\u00dfnahmen:<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><ol><li><strong>Vegane Lebensweise<\/strong><\/li><\/ol><p>Es ist mittlerweile kein Geheimnis mehr, dass tierische Produkte nicht nur unendliches Leid erzeugen, sondern dass die Tierindustrie ma\u00dfgeblich zur Erderw\u00e4rmung und der Klimakrise beitr\u00e4gt. Laut aktuellen Studien, k\u00f6nnten wir alle unseren ern\u00e4hrungsbasierten CO<sub>2<\/sub>-Fu\u00dfabdruck um 49% verringern, w\u00fcrden wir uns rein pflanzlich ern\u00e4hren<sup>1<\/sup>. Somit sind eine rein pflanzenbasierte\/vegane Ern\u00e4hrung und Lebensweise essentiell.<\/p><p><strong>Wenn CSDs vegan werden w\u00fcrden, w\u00fcrde dies ein klares politisches Signal gegen die Klimakrise und die Ausbeutung anderer Lebewesen senden. <\/strong><\/p><p>Daher fordern wir, dass die Veranstalter*innen bei den CSDs ein Umfeld schaffen, das vegane und nachhaltige Verpflegung bei den Stra\u00dfenfesten f\u00f6rdert und durchsetzt.<\/p><ol start=\"2\"><li><strong>Keine Trucks bei der Parade<\/strong><\/li><\/ol><p>Der erste Christopher Street Liberation Day fand zu Fu\u00df statt. Bei einigen Christopher Street Days fahren jedoch mittlerweile gro\u00dfe Trucks durch die Stra\u00dfen, die aufgrund ihres Schadstoffaussto\u00dfes ohne eine Sondergenehmigung gar nicht in der Innenstadt fahren d\u00fcrften.<\/p><p><strong>Insbesondere durch die langsame Schrittgeschwindigkeit bei der Parade, sowie das st\u00e4ndige Anhalten und Weiterfahren, werden unn\u00f6tigerweise enorme Mengen an CO<sub>2<\/sub> und Feinstaub ausgesto\u00dfen.<\/strong><\/p><p>Daher rufen wir zum Boykott dieser Fahrzeuge auf den Christopher Street Days auf. Ausgenommen sein sollten Begleitfahrzeuge f\u00fcr Menschen, die nicht die M\u00f6glichkeit haben zu Fu\u00df oder auf dem Fahrrad am CSD teilzunehmen. Auch hier sollte auf eine m\u00f6glichst klimafreundliche Auswahl der Begleitfahrzeuge geachtet werden.<\/p><ol start=\"3\"><li><strong>Weg von Konsum und Kapitalismus<\/strong><\/li><\/ol><p>In den vielen Jahren seit seiner Entstehung hat sich der Christopher Street Day von einem Aufstand gegen die Unterdr\u00fcckung von Homosexuellen, Trans*- und anderen queeren Personen,\u00a0 gegen Rassismus und gegen Polizeigewalt in ein konsumorientiertes Gro\u00dfevent verwandelt.<\/p><p><strong>Aber sind billig produzierte Wegwerfartikel mit Regenbogenaufdruck wirklich Ausdruck dessen, was uns als queere Community ausmacht?<\/strong><\/p><p>Billige Einwegprodukte und Fast Fashion sind nicht nur sch\u00e4dlich f\u00fcr die Umwelt, sondern bedeuten auch die direkte Ausbeutung von anderen Personen f\u00fcr unseren Konsum. Dies geschieht zumeist unter gesundheits- bis lebensbedrohlichen Arbeitsbedingungen und geht mit dem Transport von Unmengen von Material \u00fcber weite Strecken hinweg einher. Auch wenn bunte Luftballons, Glitzer und Konfetti sch\u00f6n anzusehen sind, so verbrauchen sie f\u00fcr ein kurzes Vergn\u00fcgen Unmengen an Ressourcen, tragen zur Verschmutzung unserer aller Umwelt und den Tod vieler nichtmenschlicher Tiere durch Verschlucken und Ersticken bei.<\/p><p>Lasst uns daher kreativ werden, lokale Queers unterst\u00fctzen, weniger konsumieren, unsere CSD-Outfits selber machen, aus zweiter Hand oder fairer gehandelt erwerben, wiederauff\u00fcllbare Wasserflaschen und unser eigenes Besteck mitbringen, statt Einwegplastik zu nutzen, sowie weitere Ma\u00dfnahmen ergreifen.<\/p><p>F\u00fcr mehr Kreativit\u00e4t und weniger Konsum und Kapitalismus!<\/p><ol start=\"4\"><li><strong>Klimafreundlicheres Reisen<\/strong><\/li><\/ol><p>Kleine und insbesondere gro\u00dfe Christopher Street Days ziehen viele Personen an und sind als Gro\u00dfevents essentiell f\u00fcr queere Sichtbarkeit und Vernetzung.<\/p><p><strong>Doch m\u00fcssen wir immer schnell \u00fcberall sein?

Although many things have changed since June 1969, there is still a lot to be done. Homosexuality is still \u2013 or once again \u2013 punishable by death in many parts of the world, and queer people are being threatened and attacked on a daily basis. This is why, even after 50 years, the Pride demonstrations are still crucial for the LGBTQIA* community and the fight for our rights.<\/p><p>After 50 years, we have also reached a point where we should stop and ask ourselves: How far have we really come since 1969? Which \u2018old\u2019 issues have we overcome and which \u2018new\u2019 issues have arisen over the last decades?<\/p><p>Over the last decades, the climate crisis has posed an ever-increasing threat to all life on this planet. The climate crisis may not care about our sexual orientation or gender identity, but it will affect all of us, nonetheless.<\/p><p>Even today, people in many parts of the world are suffering from heat waves, droughts, floods, and other environmental disasters induced by the climate crisis. Usually, those who contribute the least to the climate crisis are affected the most. And more often than not, the people who are most affected cannot buy their way out of the devastating effects of the climate crisis.<\/p><p>Ironically, many of the companies that exploit humans, nonhumans, and the environment all around the world position themselves as tolerant supporters of the LGBTQIA* movement in Europe and the US.<\/p><p>The LGBTQIA* movement has always fought for social justice.<\/p><p>Today, more than ever, it is vital that we also take on the fight for climate justice. Solidarity with queers all around the world obliges us to actively fight against the climate crisis instead of literally fueling global warming with our excessive consumption and CO<sub>2<\/sub> emissions.<\/p><p>This is why we demand that the LGBTQIA* community, and especially Pride organizers and participants, step up and take the following measures:<\/p><ol><li><strong>Go Vegan <\/strong><\/li><\/ol><p>By now, it is common knowledge that animal products not only cause endless suffering for nonhumans but are also one of the biggest contributors to global warming and the climate crisis. New studies show that we could reduce our dietary carbon footprints by 49% percent if we all switched to a plant-based diet<sup>1<\/sup>. Therefore, a plant-based\/vegan diet and way of living are crucial.<\/p><p><strong>A shift towards veganism at Pride would send a clear political message against the climate crisis and the exploitation of sentient beings.<\/strong><\/p><p>This is why we demand that organizers of Pride demos and street festivals create an environment that supports and establishes vegan and sustainable catering at these events.<\/p><ol start=\"2\"><li><strong>No Trucks at Pride<\/strong><\/li><\/ol><p>There were no trucks at the first Christopher Street Liberation Day, only hundreds of people marching with signs. Since then, however, trucks with high pollutant emissions have even been getting special permits to drive through the streets at Pride.<\/p><p><strong>These trucks emit enormous amounts of CO<sub>2<\/sub> and <\/strong><strong>particulate matter, which is only augmented by the slow walking speed and the constant stop and go at Pride. <\/strong><\/p><p>This is why we are calling for a boycott of these vehicles at Pride marches. Exceptions should be made for support vehicles for people who cannot attend Pride demonstration on foot or by bicycle. However, priority should still be given to choosing the most climate-friendly support vehicles.<\/p><ol start=\"3\"><li><strong>Move Away from Consumerism and Capitalism<\/strong><\/li><\/ol><p>In the many years following the first Christopher Street Liberation Day demonstration,<\/p><p>Pride has shifted away from a protest against the oppression of homosexuals, trans* and other queer people, against racism, and against police violence, towards a large-scale consumerist event.<\/p><p><strong>But are cheaply produced single-use products with rainbow prints really an expression of what defines us as queer community?<\/strong><\/p><p>Cheap single-use products and fast fashion are not only harmful to the environment but also directly exploit other people for our consumption. These products are mostly produced under working conditions that are hazardous to both health and life, and are then transported over long distances in large quantities. Although we may all love colorful balloons, glitter, and confetti, they use up immense amounts of resources for a brief and fleeting moment of enjoyment.
