About
Background
Zurich is a multicultural city and well-known for its tolerance. Nevertheless, difficulties still exist when it comes to the integration of foreign people into the Swiss community. Quite often integration fails due to persisting language barriers. Queer Migs takes account of the needs of LGBTI migrants and stands for openness, respect and mutual support. The main goal is to connect people and make them have a good time. Our logo – a blender with a rainbow coloured vortex inside – represents diversity, as well as exchange and integration within society. Queer Migs was officially founded in 2013 and is a working group of HAZ (Homosexuelle Arbeitsgruppen Zürich). Since November 2015, we’ve organized a Welcome Café for queer refugees in collaboration with Queer Amnesty. Migrants and local people share coffee and cookies with LGBT refugees once a month.The Project Group
