The IBN Rushd-Goethe Mosque in Berlin-Moabit has raised the rainbow flag on the occasion of Christopher Street Day (CSD). The flag was hoisted before Friday prayer at 11 a.m. According to the district office Mitte, Berlin's governing mayor Kai Wegner (CDU) and district mayor Stefanie Remlinger (Greens) also take part. The rainbow flag is said to send a strong and self -confident message. District Mayor Remlinger emphasizes that this message is not only aimed at queer people of Muslim faith, but also to all Berliners, regardless of their sexual orientation. It should set a sign against discrimination, violence and tolerance and diversity.

The IBN Rushd-Goethe Mosque was the first mosque worldwide, according to the district office in 2022, which has a rainbow flag. As a result, she received a lot of approval as well as numerous hostility.

Mayor Wegner praised the diversity in Berlin, which is characterized by various life plans, origins and religious beliefs. He thanked the IBN Rushd-Goethe Mosque for the fact that despite the hostility, she bravely raised the rainbow flag this year to set a sign of diversity, acceptance and equality.

The rainbow flag is an international symbol of tolerance and the acceptance of different ways of life. The Christopher Street Day will take place in Berlin on Saturday, in which a demonstration train for the rights of homo-, bi-, trans- and intersexuals is planned. The organizers expect around 500,000 participants.
