Hundreds of thousands march in Berlin pride parade
Hundreds of thousands assembled in the German capital for the Christopher Street Day parade to support LGBTQ rights and protest growing discrimination.
Hundreds of thousands of participants gathered in Berlin on Saturday for the annual Christopher Street Day parade to advocate for LGBTQ tolerance and equal rights. Demonstrators marched through the German capital to highlight growing pressures facing the queer community, including political pushback and increased safety concerns.
Organisers stressed the importance of public visibility amidst global concerns regarding discrimination and prejudice. Event speaker Thomas Hof warned that queer individuals worldwide remain under pressure, noting that established rights are being reversed and "hate crime is on the rise."
