Grönemeyer: A call for diversity and democracy at the CSD
an important event took place in Berlin, which, despite adverse weather conditions, attracted many people. At this year's Pride event, participants gathered to stand up for the rights of the LGBTQ+community and to show solidarity with other life models. At the center of the celebrations was an urgent call to defend the democratic values by the well -known musician Herbert Grönemeyer.
a strong message for equality
Grönemeyer spoke in emphasis on the global threats to which democracies are exposed. In the "perfidious way" he pointed out how fundamentalist forces work against various lifestyle. "Let's fight for a progressive world, every day and side by side," emphasized the artist who encouraged people to actively stand up for equality and acceptance.
take political responsibility seriously
The event also served as a platform to place political demands. The activist Sophie Koch from the State Working Group Queeres Network Sachsen asked to anchor the protection of queer of living people in the Basic Law. She emphasized that a change in Article 3 in this election period was urgently necessary. These demands were heard from prominent political representatives, including Federal Minister of Family Affairs Lisa Paus from the Greens, who also spoke to the celebrations.
safety concerns in focus
A remarkable aspect of the event was the presence of Alfonso Pantisano, the Berlin queer representative who had already received death threats due to his work. He was accompanied by bodyguards, which illustrates the dangers with which many LGBTQ+activists are faced. This security problem was a constant companion of the celebrations and political discussions.
The community spirit remains strong
Despite the rain, many people endure until midnight to hear the messages of the event and support the community. The Pride celebrations not only show the need for legal equality, but also the strength and cohesion of the LGBTQ+community in times of social change. It becomes clear that the struggle for acceptance and equality continues and that such events are decisive for awareness and progress in society.
In summary, it can be said that the Berlin Pride event was a strong sign of tolerance and the rights of the LGBTQ+community. The political appeals, the urgent messages of artists and the solidarity of the participants form an important basis for future progress in this area.- Nag
