We cordially invite you to the 2nd Linz Dyke March!

This demo traditionally takes place one day before the big Pride to once again draw special attention to the visibility of women* who identify as lesbian, bi, pan, genderfluid / trans and who (also) love women/*.
This year also specifically flint people in the community, drag kings* & sex workers. Allies also welcome.

Meeting point: June 28, 7 pm, Hosi Linz (Schillerstraße 49)
