SUMMARY:Sondervorführung IDAHOBIT: Lesbian Space Princess
DESCRIPTION:Umwerfend witzig\, knallbunt\, euphorisch\, kompromisslos queer: Der erste Spielfilm des australischen Regie-Duos Leela Varghese und Emma Hough Hobbs ist ein mitreißender intergalaktischer Selbstfindungstrip mit ganz großem Herzen und Lust auf Krawall\, irgendwo zwischen wilder Sci-Fi-Musical-Komödie und heilsamer Coming-of-Age-Abenteuerreise. \nDie introvertierte Prinzessin Saira\, Tochter der lesbischen Königinnen des Planeten Clitopolis\, ist am Boden zerstört: Die heiße Kopfgeldjägerin Kiki hat mit ihr Schluss gemacht – aus lauter Langeweile! Dabei hat Saira ihr ein so schönes Beziehungsalbum gebastelt! Doch als Kiki von den Straight White Maliens entführt wird\, den Incels der Zukunft\, muss Saira den Safe Space des queeren Weltraums verlassen und sie binnen 24 Stunden freikaufen: Die Maliens fordern nämlich die berühmte königliche Labrys – eine goldene Doppelaxt von schier unglaublicher lesbischer Macht. Das einzige Problem … Saira hat sie nicht! \nFür den Film gab es auf der Berlinale 2025 den Teddy-Award und den 2. Platz beim Panorama-Publikumspreis. Ein riesiger Spaß für die ganze Familie\, eindeutig! Freigegeben allerdings ab 16\, finden die Sittenwächter:innen der FSK – aus Gründen\, so geheimnisvoll wie der unendliche Weltraum. Der Film überzeugt aber nicht nur im Original\, sondern auch in der deutschen Synchronfassung\, die mit Lena Urzendowsky (In die Sonne schauen\, Kokon)\, Jasmin Tabatabai (Bandits\, Fremde Haut)\, Katy Karrenbauer (Satanische Sau\, Hinter Gittern – der Frauenknast)\, Genet Zegay (Jugend ohne Gott)\, Lana Cooper (Love Steaks\, Looping) und Kelly Heelton (Drag Race Germany) ein paar unserer liebsten Celebrities vereint! \nAus dem Filmtheater: Anlässlich des IDAHOBIT\, dem Internationalen Tag gegen Homo-\, Bi-\, Inter-\, Trans- und Asexuellenfeindlichkeit (englisch International Day Against Homophobia\, Biphobia\, Interphobia\, Transphobia – IDAHOBIT). Neben der Erinnerung an das Ende der Definition von Homosexualität als Krankheit durch die WHO ergeben sich bei dem Datum 17.5. auch Parallelen zum ehemaligen Paragraphen 175 des deutschen Strafgesetzbuches\, weshalb der 17. Mai in Deutschland bereits vor dem Jahr 1990 im Volksmund spöttisch als „Feiertag der Schwulen“ bezeichnet wurde. \nAustralien 2025 | Regie & Buch: Leela Varghese & Emma Hough Hobbs | Animation: Emma Hough Hobbs | Schnitt: Ben Fernandez | Schnittkoordination: Sam Matthews | Sound Design: Michael Darren | Musik: Leela Varghese\, Michael Darren | Szenenbild: Emma Hough Hobbs | Genre: Abenteuer\, Action\, Animation\, Komödie\, Science-Fiction | FSK 16 | 86 min.

DESCRIPTION:The Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands\, in collaboration with APCOM Foundation\, Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau (TCEB)\, Bangkok Pride\, GIRLxGIRL\, SCBX Next Tech\, Baturu\, and the Rights and Liberty Protection Department\, today officially launched IDAHOBIT 2026: “At the Heart of Democracy” – The Journey from Amsterdam to Bangkok. \nThis landmark initiative highlights the global journey toward equality and inclusion\, connecting Amsterdam and Bangkok through a shared commitment to human rights\, dignity\, and diversity. \nThe programme will take place from 15–18 May 2026 at SCBX Next Tech\, 4th Floor\, Siam Paragon\, Bangkok. \nThe event comes at a significant moment as Thailand marks the first anniversary of its Marriage Equality Law\, becoming the first country in Southeast Asia to legalize same-sex marriage\, while the Netherlands continues its global leadership as the first country in the world to have done so in 2001. \nAs part of the programme\, the Embassy of the Netherlands will present the internationally renowned Amsterdam Rainbow Dress\, a powerful 16-metre-wide artwork made from the flags of more than 60 countries where homosexuality remains criminalized. The installation serves as a poignant reminder of the ongoing challenges faced by LGBTQI communities worldwide. \nAPCOM Foundation will also showcase the 10th anniversary of the HERO Awards\, highlighting outstanding HIV and LGBTQI advocates across Asia and the Pacific through a photo exhibition and regional dialogues\, including voices from countries where LGBTQI people continue to face criminalization.

All are invited to get out of the house for a day\, by themselves\, with family\, or friends\, grab a bite to eat\, browse vibrant community stalls. engage in family friendly activities\, and join workshops focused on making\, moving\, and being well.\nBest dressed can also win a prize in the Wellbeing Fashion Parade. \nEntry by donation.

SUMMARY:Steps to Liberation: Unveiling the Rainbow Steps
DESCRIPTION:Community members and allies will gather at Founders Metropolitan Community Church in Los Angeles for a public act of courage: the unveiling of the Rainbow Steps. \nCreated by Lynn Segerblom\, co-creator of the original rainbow flag in 1978\, the installation transforms the church’s historic entry staircase into a vibrant spectrum of color — a symbolic pathway representing courage\, visibility\, and the ongoing struggle for LGBTQ+ dignity and equality. \nFounders MCC holds a unique place in LGBTQ+ history. Its founder\, Rev. Troy Perry\, helped launch the modern Pride movement by organizing the first Pride parade in Los Angeles in 1970\, demonstrating how visibility and collective action help expand freedom. \nThe event will also mark the official launch of Flag50\, a global initiative leading toward the 50th anniversary of the rainbow flag in 2028\, celebrating the flag’s enduring role as a symbol of hope\, diversity\, and human rights. \nIn a time when LGBTQ+ people around the world continue to face discrimination and violence\, the Rainbow Steps stand as a visible reminder that defending LGBTQ+ dignity is central to protecting democracy itself. \nThe event will take place in person in Los Angeles and online for global participation\, inviting communities everywhere to reflect on why equality and solidarity remain at the heart of democracy. \nMore information and livestream details:ourpride.org \nWith each step\, the Rainbow Steps invite us to remember that freedom is not achieved in a single moment\, but built step by step through courage\, solidarity\, and the enduring promise of democracy.
