People of colour and homosexuals in Non-European countries and their situations are not mentioned. Furthermore, there is some criticism of the organizers who didn't distance themselves from the participation of the largest brothels in cologne. Because of the commercialization and the less and less political demand of the large CSD, there exists an "alternative" called "Transgenial CSD". It started in Berlin in 1997.

In advance of the TCSD, there are workshops concerning topics like poverty, fortress Europe and many more with a lesbian/transsexual/transgender/gay/queer gaze.
