SEND “MARSCH FÜR DIE FAMILIE” TO HELL!
The meeting point of the clerical fascists is at 2pm at Stephansplatz
Although on 19 June 2021 the Vienna Rainbow Parade takes place corona-conditioned only in the reduced form, the Catholic fundamentalists of the “platform family” organize nevertheless their annual, miserable “march for the family”. Every year they deliberately choose the day of the rainbow parade to protest against the existence of LGBTIQA+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Inter, Queer, Asexual and more) people and queer-feminist demands.
With slogans such as “Marriage only between a man and a woman”, “No adoption rights for same-sex couples” or “Untouchable right to life from conception”, the fundies propagate a traditional, heteronormative and patriarchal family model on the one hand. On the other hand, the legal equality, visibility and lifestyle(s) of LGBTIQA+ people are dragged through the mud. Furthermore, the fundies question important (queer-)feminist achievements, such as the abortion solution (exemption from punishment for abortions up to the 3rd month of pregnancy). This is despite the fact that feminists have been fighting for decades to remove abortions from criminal law and that lesbians, gays, trans- and inter-persons and queers still face discrimination and violence every day in Vienna.
At the “March for the Family”, right-wing extremists and arch-Catholic anti-abortion activists march hand in hand: The event is led by Georg Immanuel Nagel, who became known primarily for his miserably failed attempt to build up PEGIDA Austria and who to this day, with his association “Occident”, is not above instrumentalizing women’s* murders/femicides for racist purposes. Co-organizer is also the anti-abortion association “Pro Vita”, led by the recently deceased Alfons Adam. Even during the Corona lockdowns, “Pro Vita” regularly held their prayer vigils, where they positioned themselves in front of abortion clinics with pictures covered in blood, praying for the alleged unborn life. As is often the case, the event will be moderated by Christian Zeitz of the FPÖ-affiliated Vienna Akademikerbund, who has become a popular corona conspiracy theorist in recent months.
