We have set out details of our work, our achievements and challenges to work with others to get equal rights, through song and advocacy, with equal opportunities for all.

From your Board members

Your board is committed to serve and support you and all LGBTQ+ queer people across Europe during these challenging times. As the unjust war in Ukraine continues, the needs of queer refugees fleeing war, persecutions and oppression are ever present. Our human rights are under attack in many countries across the world, so we need to be vigilant, singing to protect and promote equal rights for all. Thank you for your support for the two fundraising campaigns set up by Munich Kiev Queer. Showing solidarity through song for equality to sing out with pride and hope

Our plan for the next 20 years is ambitious and bold and if you want to join Team LEGATO the new group of volunteers working with a Board member on specific projects focused on the first 5 years, please get in touch now. There is no time to loose in making Europe a fairer, more equal place for all queer people.

President of your Board
