Half a million expected: Berlin is preparing for CSD parade
Große CSD parade in Berlin for the rights of sexual minorities
This year, too, hundreds of thousands of people have gathered in Berlin to take part in the CSD parade and to stand up for the right-wing sexual minorities. The event was opened at noon by Bundestag President BAS and Berlin's ruling mayor Wegner. The parade was directed against the disadvantage of lesbians, gays and trans people.
Before the parade started, a moving wreath -laying was held at the monument to the homosexuals murdered in National Socialism. This symbolic sign is reminiscent of the persecution and discrimination of LGBTQ+persons is not an abstract past, but is still a reality in many parts of the world today.
The motto of this year's CSD in Berlin was "for more empathy and solidarity". It should draw attention to the fact that it is not only about legal equality, but also about acceptance and social support for sexual minorities. The organizers emphasize that empathy and solidarity are necessary to cause real changes and to promote an inclusive and diverse society.
The CSD parade in Berlin is a great success every year and attracts participants from all over the world. In addition to the demonstrations and political messages, there are also many cultural events, concerts and parties in which the variety and joy of the LGBTQ+community are celebrated.
The importance of the CSD goes beyond a single day event. It is an important moment to draw attention to the ongoing discrimination against sexual minorities and to strengthen the rights and visibility of these groups. The CSD movement has gained influence worldwide in recent years and contributes to the fact that the LGBTQ+community is increasingly heard and respected.
This message was sent on July 22nd, 2023 in the Deutschlandfunk program and shows that the media also offer an important platform for visibility and support for sexual minorities. Thanks to extensive reporting, the concerns and demands of the LGBTQ+community can achieve a general public and contribute to a change in society. It is therefore to be hoped that such events will continue to be reported in the future and that the rights of sexual minorities will continue to be supported.
