On the occasion of the Berlin Pride-Month, district mayor Frank Werbig is "only strong together-for democracy and diversity" together with representatives from queer initiatives on July 15, 2024 at 12:00 p.m., the rainbow flags in front of the Spandau town hall. The rainbow flag stands not only for diversity, but also for the values of respect, equality and acceptance, which are held up in Spandau.

The LGBT+community has made considerable progress in recent years, but there are still challenges and discrimination. The Pride Month serves as a memory of this progress and as a call to solidarity and support for the LGBT+community. The rainbow flags in front of the Spandau town hall symbolizes the support and appreciation for the LGBT+community in the region.

The Pride Month was launched two years ago by Berlin CSD e.V. in order to give current topics of the queer community more space. It is an important period for networking, exchange and visibility that goes beyond the CSD demonstration on July 27th

A look into the past shows that the first Christopher Street Day took place in Berlin in 1979. The namesake of the annual Pride demo is the Stonewall uprising, which took place in the Christopher Street in New York in 1969. The uprising was the result of regular violent raids from the police in bars with trans- and homosexual regular audience. The resistance of Dragqueens, Transpersonen, Latinas and Black Lesbians and Gays led to days of conflict with the police. On the first anniversary of the uprising, the first road parade under the name Christopher Street Liberation Day took place, which is considered the forerunner of today's Christopher Street Day.

in Spandau and all over Berlin, the rainbow flags in front of public buildings such as the town hall are an important signal for tolerance, respect and acceptance. It is an opportunity for all citizens to gather and stand together for a diverse and open society.
