In times of social cuts, attacks on queer people, and a rising far right, we are taking a stand for solidarity and togetherness — and warmly invite you to this year's Queer Reception! As always, you can look forward to exciting guests and, of course, plenty of space for shared conversation and networking over drinks and pizza.

Heidi Reichinnek will open the reception at 7:30 PM.

Afterwards, a captivating panel discussion awaits you with:

• Elif Eralp, spokesperson for Migration, Participation and Anti-Discrimination for Die Linke in the Berlin House of Representatives,
• Maik Brückner, queer policy spokesperson of the Die Linke parliamentary group in the Bundestag,
• Heike Werner, Executive Director of the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation, and
• Drag queen Gloria Viagra, who will also be hosting us throughout the entire evening.

We look forward to exchanging ideas with you, discussing our plans together, and spending a wonderful evening at the ÆDEN Club.

We kindly ask you to register by 19 June 2026.

As the venue is only partially accessible, please indicate in your registration whether and in what form you require assistance.

The stage programme will be interpreted in German Sign Language.
