The cultural tides are turning against us, and LGBTQIA+ people have become the target and scapegoat for hypocritical politicians, religions fanatics, and the common idiots once more.
I think it's time that the Hardcore, Techno, Gabber (and all other) scenes take a stand and help to defend the rights of queer people, and other groups that might become marginalized again.
My own little effort is this new logo which, I hope, represents solidarity and unity.
You can download it in 3 different variants, and also with a transparent background, so that people are able to add to their own artworks and design.
Let us not give up in the face of this struggle!
