Sonntags Club

The Sonntags-Club e.V., founded in 1987, is a pioneering organization in the field of LGBTIQA+ rights in Germany. Originally formed as an underground group in East Berlin, the Sonntags-Club has developed into a versatile center for events, information, and counseling.

• Counseling: The Sonntags-Club offers comprehensive counseling services for LGBTIQA+ individuals, including individual and group counseling on topics such as coming out, sexuality, and relationship issues. A particular focus is on counseling for trans* people. These services are available in person, by phone, and via video calls[2][4].
• Community Building: The center promotes community through various events such as live music, film screenings, panels, and art exhibitions. It also operates a publicly accessible café, with proceeds used for LGBTIQA+ initiatives[1][4].
• Legal Support: The Sonntags-Club provides legal advice and support through affiliated lawyers to address equal rights and other LGBTIQA+-related legal matters[1].

The main mission of the Sonntags-Club is to promote and protect the rights and freedoms of LGBTIQA+ individuals. The focus is on creating an inclusive and supportive community where all members can freely express their identity. The organization particularly advocates for the visibility and inclusion of lesbians, trans*, inter*, and non-binary individuals, who are often overlooked in other advocacy groups[1][2].

The Sonntags-Club is engaged in numerous local and international initiatives to preserve and promote the history and culture of the LGBTIQA+ community. This includes supporting writing competitions and documenting underrepresented stories within the LGBTIQA+ community. The organization is almost entirely supported by volunteer work, highlighting its commitment to community and social engagement[1].

Today, the Sonntags-Club is a central point of contact for LGBTIQA+ individuals, their families, friends, and allies in Berlin. The organization remains active in promoting education, awareness, and community building. Through its diverse services and events, the Sonntags-Club significantly contributes to improving the quality of life and social environment for LGBTIQA+ individuals[1][4].
