Munich Kyiv Queer

Fight for Global Rights – Solidarity has no boundaries. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersexual (LGBTI*) people suffer disenfranchisement, persecution and assault all over the world. We declare our solidarity with them. The Contact Group Munich Kyiv Queer, formed after Munich Pride in 2012, brings to the publics attention especially the Human Rights’ situation of LGBTI*-people in Ukraine. The city partnership between Munich and Kyiv provides a solid foundation for such a political engagement. Since then a vibrant and warm friendship between Munich’s and Kyiv’s respective LGBTI*-communities has developed.
