Dyke March Augsburg 2025: Celebrate diversity and fight for rights!
On June 21, 2025, the Dyke March will be celebrated in Augsburg for the fourth time with a clear goal: to celebrate diversity and stand up for the rights of lesbian, bisexual, queer and trans women and non-binary people. As the Neue Scene reports, the colorful spectacle starts at 3:00 p.m. at Königsplatz. The event is supported by organizations such as CSD Augsburg e.V., LSVD, “Lesbisch* in Augsburg” and the Equal Opportunities Office of the City of Augsburg.
The opening of the “DYKE ART” exhibition will take place in advance, on June 12, 2025 at 7:00 p.m. This creative initiative will continue during the Dyke March with various activities, including an “Open Dyke Mic” and a social gathering at the After-March Party, which is open to FLINTA* people from 6:00 p.m. in the Metzgerei (Klauckestraße 16). The Dyke March Instagram account conveys all the information in an entertaining way dykemarchaux.
A strong sign of tolerance
Parallel to the celebration, the Dyke March also becomes a place of political protest. Andrea, a participant, and her wife found themselves in the park at Königsplatz on Saturday afternoon. With colorful posters with slogans like “Lesbian love is wonderful!” emblazoned, around 200 guests sent a strong signal for tolerance and acceptance. “I have been married to my wife for 16 years and we live our relationship openly,” says Andrea. Still, she notes, “There are moments when I feel uncomfortable and anxious.” The event is intended to help overcome such feelings, because “this has to stop,” says Andrea.
The rally will also include speeches from local activists who will talk about recent advances in society and call for people to fight for greater equality. These issues are crucial because despite all the progress, challenges remain, as a survey of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex people shows.
International dimension
However, the issue of equality is not just limited to local events. The Federal Government is also committed to the rights of LGBTIQ+ people at the international level. Since 2016, Germany has been a member of the Equal Rights Coalition, which works to strengthen the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex people. A key concern is the challenges that the Covid-19 pandemic has created for LGBTIQ+ people, such as social exclusion or discrimination.
The G7's commitment to equality also extends to women and girls and the LGBTIQ+ community. The ministers reiterated that violence and discrimination must be actively combated in order to enable a safe and equal life for everyone.
The Dyke March in Augsburg is therefore not only an important occasion to celebrate, but also an important platform to fight for rights and freedoms in everyday life. By raising their voices and working together for a more tolerant society, participants send a strong signal of solidarity on both a local and international level.
