Queer. Adjective. A gender identity that differs from the binary understanding of sex and gender. Origin: Indogerman*terk- = to turn.

Every year, we gather in front of the CSD Frankfurt's Art & Culture Stage and listen to what the poets have to say about LGBTQIA*, colorfulness and diversity. Five artists from all over Germany have been invited to win your favor in the poetry contest.

The usual rules of the poetry slam apply self-written text, time limit and no props. This time, however, there is also the requirement to perform a thematically appropriate text at least in the preliminary round. The three best performers will be clapped into the final by you, where they will wow you with a new text. At the end, you as the jury will choose the winner with a fitting round of applause.
