Among other things, the rainbow flag will shine on a screen at the well-known K\u00f6-Bogen.<\/p>\n<p>However, the bicycle demonstration is likely to be a special highlight. The \"Tour de Rainbow\" starts at 2 p.m. in the city centre and then makes its way through the streets.

Particularly impressive are the many individual fates, some of which can be described in great detail, especially in connection with persecuted homosexuals.<\/p>\n<p>It was a long way until the city finally managed to become as open as it is today. Here, too, the National Socialist leadership had made homosexuality a punishable offence, after all. However, history also shows that nothing is impossible, especially with regard to tolerance and the elimination of prejudices. An impressive ray of hope that perhaps gives a little courage to many gays worldwide.<\/p>\n<h4>A CSD in times of Corona<\/h4>\n<p>Admittedly, those who were actually looking forward to the CSD in D\u00fcsseldorf, celebrating in the bars of the \"longest bar in the world\" and other highlights, might have been a little disappointed in 2020. But the actions that have been initiated here and are supported by the most diverse agencies in the city show that there is almost always a way to draw attention to grievances.<\/p>\n<p>Accordingly, numerous spectators and participants are expected - especially in connection with the bicycle demo. Respecting the rules of distance, but nevertheless no less colourful, there is a high probability that the message will get through.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You might also like this post:&nbsp;<a title=\"5 Gay Prejudices in Check\" href=\"https:\/\/schwulekontakte.com\/2020\/07\/09\/5-gay-vorurteile-im-check\/\">5 Gay Prejudices in Check<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>D\u00fcsseldorf sets an example for diversity and respect.
