Cologne Pride

Its origin is to celebrate the pride in Gay and Lesbian Culture.

Cologne Gay Pride is made of a large city Gay pride parade, and a week of a number of festivals, parties and political forums.

Cologne Gay Pride started during the 1980s as a small Christopher Street Day named for the Stonewall riots on Christopher Street in New York City.

Education and support for AIDS became an important aspect during recent years.
