Reminder!

Queer Ukrainian lives depend on international support and solidarity. Russian military aggression affects all people of Ukraine, including the queer community. And Russian occupation leads to torture, sexual violence, and brutal oppression – given that any queer existence is strictly outlawed in Russia, queer Ukrainian existence is in particular danger. Despite the war, Ukrainians go on the streets to demonstrate against discriminatory and unjust government measures that disable queer justice. Only recently, the draft law for the highly problematic new civil code has led to mass demonstrations across the country. The civil code governs different relations such as property rights, but also personal relations. While officials argued that changing the 2003 version would bring Ukraine closer to progressive democratic values, it actually does the opposite as proposed changes would impact queer rights and international human rights negatively. While the civil society actively demands changes, queer people are still constantly faced with violence from the far-right and same-sex marriage still has not been legalised. It is our duty to amplify Queer Ukrainian voices here in Germany. So join us on Saturday, 25 July at 15:00 at Gesundbrunnen, to come together, unite, and be strong as one!

We invite you to join us at the Internationalist Queer Pride Berlin 2026 — 25th July, at 15:00, at Gesundbrunnen! The IQP stands for anticolonial, antiracist and anticapitalist liberation for all. Now, more than ever, we see queer rights being taken away all around the world. As corporations and political parties use pride as a tool for pinkwashing, we believe it to be a protest. While pride should be a celebration of queer existence, the right to existence has been fought for and must continue to be defended, until justice and liberation for all queer people has been reached.

Привіт, друзі! Завтра відбудеться Інтернаціоналістський Квір Прайд (IQP) — антикапіталістична, антиколоніальна та антирасистська альтернатива комерційному й неоліберальному CSD. Цього року ми, Українська Ліва Ініціатива, також долучаємося до IQP зі своєю лівою українською групою. Запрошуємо вас приєднатися! 📍 Gesundbrunnen 📅 25.07 🕒 15:00

Schließt euch uns an bei der Internationalistischen Queer Pride Berlin 2026 – am 25. Juli um 15.00 Uhr bei Gesundbrunnen! Die IQP steht für antikoloniale, antirassistische und antikapitalistische Befreiung aller Menschen. Jetzt, mehr denn je, werden queere Rechte überall auf der Welt weggenommen. Während Korporationen und politische Parteien Pride als Mittel für Pinkwashing benutzen, ist es für uns ein Protest. Pride sollte eine Feier queerer Existenz sein, doch das Recht darauf ist erkämpft worden, und muss nun weiter verteidigt werden, bis alle queeren Menschen in Gerechtigkeit und Freiheit leben dürfen.

but where's the sign of solidarity with Ukrainians?
