About Bad Homburg
Bad Homburg vor der Höhe has hosted a Pride event organised by Colorful e.V., a non-profit association based in Eschborn. The group works across the Taunus area against discrimination, especially against hostility towards queer people, sexism and racism. Within the association, Pride is run by a standing working group of volunteers rather than as a one-off project.
The association used to run its events under separate names, one for the Main-Taunus district and one for the Hochtaunus district, which includes Bad Homburg. Both have since been merged into a single brand called TaunusPride. The edition in the spa town appears as TaunusPride meets Bad Homburg, alongside TaunusPride meets Hofheim. The organisers see Pride as something for the whole Taunus region and mention towns such as Hofheim, Eschborn, Oberursel and Bad Homburg.
Where TaunusPride takes place in a given year is announced on the association's website, so an edition in Bad Homburg is not guaranteed every year. Whether it happens depends largely on how many people are on the planning team. According to the organisers, the city of Bad Homburg has invited them and supports the event. In years without a large Pride, Colorful plans to stay visible in the Hochtaunus district through smaller events, campaigns and partnerships.
TaunusPride combines celebration with political demands. These include adding sexual and gender identity to Article 3 of the German constitution, action plans against discrimination, better sex education curricula and more information about HIV and other sexually transmitted infections. Anyone who wants to get involved can join the association or help out on the Pride team.
