Queere Ampeln könnten bald in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg zu sehen sein. Die Bezirksbürgermeisterin hat einen Brief an den Senat geschrieben, in dem sie vorschlägt, solche Ampeln zu installieren. Der Senat prüft derzeit diese Idee. Die Idee, Ampeln in den Farben der LGBTQ+-Flagge zu gestalten, ist nicht neu. In einigen Städten weltweit gibt es bereits solche Ampeln, um die Sichtbarkeit und Akzeptanz von queeren Menschen zu fördern. Die Ampeln zeigen die klassischen Ampelfiguren in den Farben der Regenbogenflagge, also rot, orange, gelb, grün, blau und violett. Dadurch wird deutlich gemacht, dass diese Ampeln für Vielfalt und Toleranz stehen. Die Installation von queeren Ampeln …

queer traffic lights could soon be seen in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg. The district mayor wrote a letter to the Senate in which she suggests installing such traffic lights. The Senate is currently examining this idea.

The idea of ​​designing traffic lights in the colors of the LGBTQ+flag is not new. In some cities worldwide, there are already traffic lights to promote the visibility and acceptance of queer people. The traffic lights show the classic traffic light figures in the colors of the rainbow flag, i.e. red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet. This makes it clear that these traffic lights stand for diversity and tolerance.

The installation of queer traffic lights can be understood as a symbol of respect and equality. They send a clear message to society: every person, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity, has the right to be treated equally.

In a B.Z. survey, the question was recently asked which energy sources the readers heat. The result shows that most still rely on oil or gas, while a small part has already switched to renewable energies. This result illustrates that switching to clean energy sources such as solar energy or district heating still has a lot of potential.

The possible installation of queer traffic lights in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg is another step towards equality and acceptance. It is important that queer people can feel safe and accepted, no matter where they are. Queere traffic lights would help increase this visibility and recognition.

The discussion about the queer traffic lights will certainly continue. It remains to be seen which decision the Senate will make in this regard. It is to be hoped that Berlin will decide to install such traffic lights and thus set an example of other cities in Germany and worldwide.
