International day against gay and transthobia: rainbow flag in front of the town hall Spandau raised

Today, on the occasion of the international day against homophobia, transthobia, biphobia and interphobia, the rainbow flag was hoisted in front of the town hall Spandau in order to set a strong sign of solidarity. District Mayor Frank Werbig and District City Councilor for Social Affairs and Citizens' Services Gregor Kempert jointly carried out the hoist of the flag. This day, also known as Idahobit, is celebrated worldwide on May 17th to draw attention to the rights of LGBTQAI+person and to combat discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.

District Mayor Frank Werwig emphasized the importance of tolerance, acceptance and equality in society and emphasized that it was crucial to unite as a society in order to combat any form of hatred and discrimination. Everyone deserves respect, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.

The international day against homo-, bi-, inter- and translasiveness, which was founded 34 years ago today, is reminiscent of the explanation of the World Health Organization Who is that homosexuality is not an illness, disorder or perversion. This milestone for queer equality is celebrated every year on May 17th.

The rainbow flag, symbol of diversity and the rights of the LGBTQAI+community, is being raised worldwide at events as part of Pride celebrations and in protests against discrimination. The Spandau district office is actively committed to promoting diversity and for an open, inclusive and respectful spandau.
