Erasmus Pride

February 13, 2020

Erasmus Pride is the LGBTQ+-student association in Rotterdam. They represent the LGBTQ+-students at the Erasmus University Rotterdam on and off campus.

On Saturday September 28th, the annual Pride Walk took place in Rotterdam as part of the Rotterdam Pride. Hundreds of people gathered at the Leuvenhoofd where a moment of silence was held before they left towards the city in a large procession. Many groups walked 'armed' with flags and banners, such as COC, The Hang-out 010, Out & Abroad, Erasmus Pride, Unilever, Leather Pride, Mankracht and many more. Many people were dressed and that made for a festive and cheerful street scene! Photographer Vera Bos joined the walk with her camera and made this beautiful photo series. Have you spotted yourself in the pictures?

Keerweer

January 29, 2020

You haven’t really experienced gay night life in Rotterdam without having been to the Keerweer! For years Café de Keerweer – named after the street the cafe is situated on - has been one of the most well-known gay bars of Rotterdam. Although the Keerweer opens its doors as early as 16.00 the fun really starts after midnight.

Lantarenvenster

January 23, 2020

In an era of big budget films and huge movie theatres it’s a breath of fresh air to discover places like Lantarenvenster that push back and give moviegoers the opportunity to experience a more relaxed vibe.

Lantarenvenster is a household name in Rotterdam, located at the Kop van Zuid in the impressive skyscraper ‘New Orleans’. The venue not only houses five film/concert halls but also a lovely café with a view of the river.

Anyone living in Rotterdam – or for that matter living anywhere in the Randstad – can vouch for the fact that space is a luxury. This is exactly what makes Lantarenvenster so unique. The minute you walk into this theatre all of the space and light in the venue invite you to feel light completely relaxed.

In addition to the delightful ambience, the theatre also offers a wide array of movies. Lantarenvenster has proven over and over again that it never loses sight of the relevance of LGBTQI+ themes in their selection of films.
They have regular exclusive screenings or events with an introduction. You can also check out the expat night screenings where interesting non English films are made accessible .

Apart from the lovely ambience and the great movies, the friendly staff make an outing to Lantarenvenster a real joy. So, what are you waiting for?

One of the few festivals that continues this year is Somewhere over the Rainbow, the LGBTQ + Summer Film Festival at LantarenVenster! From Saturday August 1 to September 1 the most beautiful films with a LGBTQ + theme will be shown on Saturday, Sunday and Tuesday.

LUSH

January 29, 2020

LUSH is an internationally renowned natural and cruelty-free cosmetics brand. So why include LUSH in our list of hotspots? Because we absolutely love LUSH! It is one of the – if not the – most progressive brands when it comes to human rights, sustainability and animal-friendliness. Need we say more? We don’t but we will. Because the second you walk into the LUSH store in Rotterdam it almost seems like crashing a mini gay party. That shouldn’t come as a surprise considering the fact that their Rotterdam store is known for its LGBTQI-friendliness.
