Patronage: Mayor Fritz Kuhn

Patron of the CSD Stuttgart 2015: Mayor Fritz KuhnFritz Kuhn , Lord Mayor of Stuttgart, is the patron of this year’s  Christopher Street Day ( CSD ) in the state capital.

“With pleasure I have taken over the patronage the CSD in 2015,” explains the mayor Fritz Kuhn.”Stuttgart is a cosmopolitan, a liberal city, where everyone and can maintain each one’s own lifestyle, the.  theme of this year’s CSD -, ! Acceptance What else? ‘ – Is not as current as long discrimination and defamation have no place in our midst as a patron I want to help ensure that acceptance is taken for granted and commonplace, what else “..!

For the  CSD club Fritz Kuhn’s patronage is a symbol of the now long-term use of state capital for a diverse, open city society. For ten years now, both in the urban policy and in the municipality develops an impressive change process. 2005 at the time when it was far from obvious in Baden-Württemberg, Stuttgart opened one of the first communities in the country at all the civil registry for same-sex partnering events and sat firmly identical management fees, as are common in a heterosexual marriage.

City of Stuttgart under the rainbowIn the previous term of Fritz Kuhn coincide with the orientation of a dialogue day for rainbow families in the town hall (July 2014) and the positioning of the city as a tolerant employer important projects in terms of equality, visibility and acceptance. Stuttgart directed one of the largest employers in the region his work under the diversity aspect explicitly in the interests of LSBTTIQ-people. This culminated last year in the first-time participation of an official Fußgruppe with numerous mitmarschierenden employees of the state capital at the CSD-political parade . For LSBTTIQ-concerns itself also a regular daily Direction Working Group has been established under the leadership of the municipal Department of equal opportunities, in its environment, among others, the online offer on the website  www.stuttgart.de/lsbttiq was supplemented by important equality issues.

CSD Stuttgart 2015: acceptance!  What else?Also in the daily collaboration with the local council, the city administration and the authorities in the field of organization of the CSD festivals we come as a team of volunteers to open doors and find great support. Externally visible urban engagement, for example, by now quite obvious  rainbow flagging for CSD at the Stuttgart City Hall, the opening of the large meeting room for the  reception of CSD association or through the provision of  City Light billboards within the city limits.

This year’s patronage of the Lord Mayor of Stuttgart must be construed as a thank you to all those involved in urban policies and management.
