What is actually just?<\/h4>

Ah yes. Justice. But what is just? And even if we asked a million people, we\u2019d probably end up with just as many different answers. On top of that, there are so many forms of justice:<\/p>

- Social justice
- Financial justice
- Moral justice \/ ethical fairness
- Equality of opportunity and education
- etc.<\/p>

But what is this actually about? To be honest: I don\u2019t even really know. With everything that\u2019s happening in the world, you often get the impression that something like justice barely exists anymore. Especially not in the examples mentioned above.<\/p>

I have a fairly strong sense of justice. And I get triggered quickly when I notice that something isn\u2019t quite fair. Not even just when it affects me. Most of the time it\u2019s about people who don\u2019t even have much to do with me. Especially when it comes to participation.<\/p>

The desire to exclude no one<\/h4>

At the same time, I also tend to overlook many things and still try to push my urge to accommodate as many target groups as possible. Let\u2019s just take any event as an example. I want to create a space that allows people to retreat without being completely alone, while also shielding them somewhat from the noise of the event.<\/p>

Of course, I know\u2014dry, logical thinking\u2014that this isn\u2019t possible at every venue. But in that moment, I don\u2019t really care. Especially not when pseudo-arguments are used. More on that in a moment.<\/p>

This example is about people who may not be very mentally resilient or who get overstimulated quickly by too many impressions and simply need a break without completely isolating themselves. Creating a place where exactly these people can meet and maybe even connect. Because how does that saying go? Shared suffering and all that.<\/p>

Many such people\u2014including myself\u2014are part of my direct and indirect environment. And they often miss such retreat spaces at parties, especially when the venues are very large.<\/p>

Pseudo-arguments and participation<\/h4>

When you bring this up with event organizers, however, there are a million reasons why this supposedly can\u2019t be implemented.<\/p>

\u201cThen those people just shouldn\u2019t go to such events\u201d is often combined with \u201cWe don\u2019t have the space for that.\u201d While the latter triggers my logic and I can agree with it, the former activates the Iustitia in me. Because this is about participation.<\/p>

Every person, regardless of status, origin, and especially mental health, has a right to participation. The right to go to parties or events and take part in social life.<\/p>

Even CSDs and Pride events now have awareness teams and quiet spaces. Yes, the comparison isn\u2019t perfect, because there\u2019s often more room to physically distance yourself. But it\u2019s about the principle.<\/p>

Responsibility of organizers<\/h4>

Maybe not in a small bar, but in larger locations there is often potential to set up such areas. And by now there are also inexpensive ways to at least somewhat shield spaces from noise.<\/p>

Arguments like \u201cWe can\u2019t or don\u2019t want to please everyone\u201d or \u201cThen those people should go somewhere else\u201d are always bitter to me. Because often, that \u201csomewhere else\u201d simply doesn\u2019t exist. Every event is unique\u2014whether it\u2019s a small regulars\u2019 table or a huge fetish party.<\/p>

As an organizing person, whether profit-oriented or not, it should matter that people can participate and feel comfortable. I understand spatial limits. But other\u2014often pretextual\u2014arguments are inappropriate. What I find almost even more important is listening. Many don\u2019t even want to hear ideas about how things could be implemented. Or criticism about what\u2019s going wrong or has gone wrong. Quite the opposite.
Was ich jedoch fast noch wichtiger finde, ist: Zuh\u00f6ren. Viele wollen nicht einmal Ideen h\u00f6ren, wie man Dinge umsetzen k\u00f6nnte. Oder Kritik, was schiefl\u00e4uft oder gelaufen ist. Im Gegenteil.<\/p>

Profit orientation is not inherently a bad thing. But especially in LGBTQIA* communities, inclusion should be taken seriously to enable participation for as many people as possible. That, for me personally, would be Iustitia in its purest form\u2014at least in the context of events.<\/p>
