Christopher Street Day

Christopher Street Day (CSD) is an annual celebration and demonstration for LGBTQ+ rights, named after the street in New York City where the 1969 Stonewall protests took place. It promotes awareness, equality, and acceptance for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer communities. Held in many cities, especially in Germany and Europe, CSD involves parades, marches, and events that advocate for legal rights, social recognition, and the elimination of discrimination. It serves both as a rally for progress and a festive occasion to foster community and visibility.
