"The extent of hate has achieved a new quality," says Veraszt’O, who emphasizes that you don't let it be put off by it. The aim of the event is to create a safe space for young queer people in which you can live your identity authentically, as meinbezirk.at.

The parade that will start at the main square not only focuses on visibility, but also on real interpersonal encounters, especially for queer adolescents in rural regions.

"Young queer people need a place where they can show themselves," he adds, while the anticipation for the colorful celebration in the city is growing.
