Hamburg

Goal 

The concerns and interests of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersexual people are a natural part of modern gender equality politics. Hamburg is an open and tolerant city and, with its “Hamburg marriage”, it has set an example of appreciating diverse life styles in society. By joining the Rainbow Cities Network and the Action Plan for the Acceptance of Sexual and Gender Diversity, we aim to make LGBTI*-people and issues in all areas of life more visible. Hamburg is against any form of discrimination of people due to their sexual orientation and their gender.
