It’s time for Pride again …
The corona pandemic is far from over. Already in the summer, when the incidence figures were still comparatively low, many CSD and Pride events had to be postponed – or were completely canceled right away.
Reason enough to celebrate an online Pride again in 2021! The PTO Media troupe around reality TV star and podcaster Lars Tönsfeuerborn (31, “Prince Charming”) invites you to join some of Germany’s greatest LGBTQ personalities to the queer late night show “PRIDE! at home “.

In BILD, Tönsfeuerborn reveals: “This year we are planning at least three to four hours. We are packing the event into a kind of queer late night show. Let me put it this way: We are making our contribution to more visibility, tolerance and, above all, acceptance in a very entertaining way! “
Funny: The cult presenter Marijke Amado (67) is the “frenzied queer reporter”.
Lots of familiar faces
The other guests of this year’s “PRIDE! at home “are impressive: “Tokio Hotel” singer Bill Kaulitz (32) has accepted.

Very professional with a live studio, plus colorful guests, a lot of music, performances and pre-produced formats promise entertainment from which quite a few CSD organizers in Germany can still learn something.
The Berlin drag queen Jacky-Oh Weinhaus is already cult in the capital. She will host the evening – together with “Princess Charming” fanatic and LGBT activist Wikiriot.
Big finale for a good cause
The success of the first edition proves the organizers right: In 2020, “PRIDE! at home “and” Varianz & Tanz “hosted the first two official online prides by them and, with a total reach of two million, are the most successful of their kind in Germany to this day.
The online event is supported by the mobile operator Vodafone. And he challenges the hosts as part of a donation challenge: “If we collect at least 5000 euros, the final is guaranteed to get under your skin,” Tönsfeuerborn reveals in BILD.
The donated money will be given to queer non-profit organizations. Is streamed the event live from 6 p.m. from Düsseldorf. “If you can’t be there live, you can do so later on YouTube,” said Tönsfeuerborn.
