Pride Month in Berlin: Celebrate diversity and tolerance

District Mayor Clara Herrmann presented the planned events for the Pride Month in Berlin Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg in press release No. 147 of May 31, 2024. The district will shine full of rainbow colors in June and celebrate diversity, while at the same time raising awareness of the topics of the LGBTQI+ Community.

The adult education center Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg will offer three film evenings, in which films from Mexico are shown that are about queer topics.

The second film "My girlfriend is the revolution" will be presented on Wednesday, June 12th.
