RosaLinde Leipzig e.V. is an association that has been active since 1990 for the concerns of LSBTIANQ*-people in Leipzig. It offers meeting spaces, educational opportunities, and psychosocial counseling to reduce discrimination and promote an inclusive society.
The RosaLinde Leipzig e.V. is a registered association that has been actively working for the interests of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans*, inter*, non-binary, asexual, and aromantic individuals (LSBTIANQ*) in Leipzig and the surrounding regions since 1990.
The main mission of RosaLinde Leipzig e.V. is to advocate against discrimination related to gender and sexual orientation, center the lived realities of LSBTIANQ* individuals, fight for their rights, and dismantle prejudices. The association operates in transparent and democratic structures and is open to all. The values of the association include respect, inclusion, and the active fight against discriminations such as sexism, racism, and homophobia[1][3][5].
The RosaLinde Leipzig e.V. is in a continuous reflection process to consider multiple discrimination in every aspect of its work. The association is currently being externally supported in the process of intersectional organizational development to reflect, dismantle, and transform its influences from discriminatory power relations. This process aims to create a sensitive and attentive space where as many LSBTIANQ* perspectives as possible are taken into account[5].
The association is also closely networked with other associations, initiatives, and groups and advocates for queer networking within the community, especially in rural areas. By organizing events such as the Christopher Street Day (CSD) Leipzig and other cultural events, the association promotes the visibility and acceptance of queer topics in public[3][5].
The RosaLinde Leipzig e.V. is a central anchor point for the queer community in Leipzig and beyond. Through its comprehensive offerings in the areas of encounters, education, and counseling, as well as its dedicated work against discrimination and for the rights of LSBTIANQ* individuals, the association makes an important contribution to creating a more inclusive and respectful society.
