Queerer means deeper
Where the average dedicated queer space sits against the rest of the catalogue, on three of the twelve dimensions Mood reads venues by.
In the European context
Where Berlin lands among the seven atlas cities - as shares of each city's own catalogue, never raw counts.
Method & reuse
- The census. Every catalogued Berlin venue scored on twelve dimensions; a dedicated queer space is unmistakably queer, a queer-friendly venue carries visible queer programming without being defined by it. Exact thresholds: queerness ≥ 0.8 and ≥ 0.6.
- The map. Each profiled venue is placed into its real Bezirk by coordinates; the shade is the count of dedicated queer spaces inside. Venues outside the mapped Bezirke sit in the wider metro and are not shown.
- Boundary data. Berlin Bezirke outlines from m-hoerz/berlin-shapes (Bezirke), projected and simplified for display. Base geography © its respective source.
- Fair comparison. This edition never compares Berlin to other cities by count. Cross-city figures live in The Queer Night: Europe, as shares of each city's own catalogue.
