LSVD+ – Verband Queere Vielfalt (LSVD+), German for the LSVD+ – Federation Queer Diversity, is the largest non-governmental LGBT rights organisation in Germany. It was founded in 1990 and is part of the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association (ILGA World).[1]
The organisation became known throughout Germany for its campaign for same-sex marriage in 1992. The LSVD+ has two main offices, one in Berlin and one in Cologne.
LSVD+ was formed as the Schwulenverband in der DDR (SVD) in 1990 and campaigned successfully to equal rights for a same-sex partnership. In March 2024, Lesben- und Schwulenverband in Deutschland (LSVD) changed its name to LSVD+ – Verband Queere Vielfalt (LSVD+).
