Why scare quotes? I lived in Düsseldorf back in '90 (go alts - that was the name of my school team, and yes it was sponsored by Alt bier 🍺... different times), it's always been one of Germany's more clean cut, upmarket cities, but this picture makes me want to go back and check it out again.
Then again, I'm a queer transfem and I'm in BERLIN, THE QUEER CAPITAL OF THE WORLD. Düsseldorf is in the last instance just meh.
Cologne is pretty gay and not far away. Come by during CSD!
Just dont start talking about Kölsch vs Alt. Those wounds are still fresh there, I heard.
Sweetie did you read the part about being transfem? I
dodrink coke, not beer ;)
Why not visit Hamburg? It's like a cool version of Berlin
I grew up next to Düsseldorf. I freaking love this city. Wouldn't it be so expensiv i would live there.
Because it is a magnet for anime fans, i early came in contact with queerness and different worldviews. Düsseldorf still has a big connection to art and due to figures like Joseph Beuys the art community is still pretty progressive. I went to university there and the campus had a progressiv Atmosphere there as well.
But on the other side the city is full of rich and conservativ people. A weird contrast. I would say Düsseldorf is educated while cologne is more open and welcoming.
