The Autonomous Bi*-Gay-Trans*-Queer Referat (AB*ST*QR) in Gießen operates as an independent unit of Justus Liebig University, providing a safe haven for anyone identifying within the queer spectrum. It fosters an open, inclusive environment where connections form, knowledge is shared, and support is readily available.
Offerings include regular plenary meetings, event series such as reading circles and film nights, along with queer tea times for casual gatherings and empowerment. Individual counseling via email or in person helps address personal challenges. As a political space, it challenges normative structures that marginalize differences, emphasizing an intersectional perspective. Key highlights are its community-driven approach and role as a vital resource for queer students seeking networks, solidarity, and personal growth.
