PRIDE MONTH SPECIAL 2026 // PART I. nothing better than a Pride Month Special debut to kick off this years guest blogpost series! I’m so very excited to share it with you guys! Spencer and I met doing a seminar together, back in my bachelor university days. They were also part of the amazing team that directed a play I wrote a few years back. now they are a playwright themselves and an awesome, creative person all around. In their Pride Month Special they talk about being married and polyamorous and their vision of a more queer, more joyous, more open future. read the blogpost and give it some love: https://bit.ly/43Z1NM1

PRIDE MONTH SPECIAL PART VI. it’s hard to summarise what Stefan has brought together in one blogpost for this final Pride Month Special. It’s a think piece about last years Eurovision Song Contest winner Nemo and their performance for the show this year, the theme of this years pride protest in Leipzig, transphobia then and now, the musical Cabaret, and so much more. read for yourself here: https://bit.ly/4luZyqD

PRIDE MONTH SPECIAL PART V. my dear friend René is back for the second time and wrote about something a lot of us living in Germany are worried about: the rise of fascism, how conservative parties are adopting far-right politics and what a danger it poses to queer people (and everyone else, too). read his blogpost here: https://bit.ly/44xkbvI

PRIDE MONTH SPECIAL PART IV. After his first Pride Month Special in 2022, my friend and recent acting school graduate Joey is back! this guest blogpost is about the little things, quite literally, about spring fever feelings, trains and maybe Goethe?! Joey once again chose a very poetic/theatric form for this one and I can see him perform this on stage 💯. read his blogpost here: https://bit.ly/3ZM3sTH

PRIDE MONTH SPECIAL PART III. Joel conducted a little survey about pride in an everyday context, which I think is a very timely topic in the current political and social climate. Joel writes about, Pride not just being a date/month in a calendar, what life is like for queer people and what it can look like to include Pride in YOUR life. read his blogpost here: https://bit.ly/4lgg4uE

PRIDE MONTH SPECIAL PART II. after her Pride Month Special debut last year, Sonja is back to share a manga review with us! In ‘Is Love the Answer?’ by Uta Isaki psychology student Chika learns to accept and slowly discovers her asexuality, and finds a community. Sonja thinks it’s a great story and authentic (and rare) representation. read all her thoughts on the manga here: https://bit.ly/3FGXtsy 

PRIDE MONTH SPECIAL PART I. my lovely poet friend Joe is back and he is very excited about discovering the term ‘panplatonic’ to add to his vocabulary. it’s a joyful and straight forward exploration of the weight we allow romantic connections to have in our lives, platonic attraction, and why your friends are the actual loves of your life. give it a read here: https://bit.ly/3SDgL4U 

PRIDE MONTH SPECIAL PART VI. it’s the final Pride Month Special of the year and as usual we are going out with a bang written by my dear friend Stefan! this one is a bit of a continuation of Stefan’s post of last year: all about the queer politics of the German government. buckle up, because it’s a long one that will leave you with dread and hope all at the same time! read the blogpost https://bit.ly/3VHcDlz
