Jugend gay
Here’s how the Gay, Lesbian and Queer Community make the most of Berlin in the Spring!
If you want to explore the river Spree, you don't hold to be packed like sardines on a big excursion boat. How about renting a pedalo, rowing boat, or kayak instead? There are several operators based around the Insel der Jugend (Island of Youth) in Treptow, right next to the huge and equally beautiful Treptower Park. Among them, for example, are 'Kanuliebe' and 'Rent-A-Boat'. 'Kanuliebe' is situated on the 'Insel der Jugend' itself and occasionally organises night tours on illuminated SUPs (stand-up paddleboards). The small boat rental company, 'Rent-a-Boat', rents out its boats on the reverse shore. Seeing the trees draped in delicate spring green from the water is a sight I look forward to every year!

Living situations and experiences of LGBT* youth in Luxembourg (LEJULU)
Homo-, bi- and transphobia in Luxembourg
Lesbian, gay, pansexual and trans* (LGBT) youth in Luxembourg officially delight in the same rights as their heterosexual and non-trans* peers. Nevertheless, what forms of stigma are LGBT* youth in Luxembourg of exposed to? To what extent do these juvenile people feel discriminated against? In which life situations are they particularly affected? Whose support do the young people rely on?
The LEJULU project provides answers to these questions. In it, Christiane Meyers, Diana Reiners and Prof. Dr. Robin Samuel analyse the subjective experiences of discrimination of LGBT young people in Luxembourg. The LEJULU study also establishes a link to structural and institutional attitudinal landscapes within Luxembourgish society. As an example, the researchers analyse discourses surrounding the legal opening of marriage for all.

EU LGBT survey
European Union lesbian, gay, double attraction and transgender survey
In light of a lack of comparable data on the respect, protection and fulfi lment of the fundamental rights of lesbian, homosexual, bisexual and gender diverse (LGBT) persons, the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) launched in its European Union (EU) online survey of LGBT persons’ experiences of discrimination, violence and harassment. The survey results provide valuable evidence of how LGBT persons in the EU and Croatia experience bias-motivated discrimination, violence and harassment in different areas of life, including employment, education, healthcare, housing and other services. The fi ndings show that many hide their identity or shun locations because of fear. Others exposure discrimination and even violence for existence LGBT. Most, however, do not inform such incidents to the police or any other relevant authority. By spotlighting and analysing the survey results, this report, together with the accompanying EU LGBT survey – Main results describe, will assist the EU institutions and Member S
Queer youth housing: QuJu
The AHF (AIDS-Hilfe Frankfurt e. V.) and the IFZ (Internationales Familienzentrum e. V. / International Family Centre) are both long-standing sponsors of various projects in the field of gay and youth services. As cooperation partners, they provide services for young people and young adults who are lesbian, gay, bisexual person, transgender or intersex (LGBT*IQ).
Many young people from these target groups still trial the path of their own coming out as difficult and stressful. External factors, such as rejection and lack of sympathetic at home, school, at the training place, or insensitive youth welfare institutions can repeatedly lead to crises and make a young person's self-discovery more difficult. The potentially useful environment, such as academy and various youth welfare services, offer support which can be inadequate. Therefore, young people are largely left alone to seek to understand their hold gender or sexual identity.
That is why our QuJu offers:
- Flexible help oriented towards individual needs
- Their own living space
- Professional
