Il Christopher Street Day di Berlino ha assunto un tono fortemente politico. Tra i temi centrali: il divieto di esporre la bandiera arcobaleno sul Bundestag. 🏳️🌈

Christopher Street Day a Berlino: centinaia di migliaia in strada

Il Christopher Street Day 2025 a Berlino ha riunito centinaia di migliaia di persone per i diritti LGBTQIA+.

Things are winding down, and I found this sign, which I'd seen someone hold two hours ago, abandoned face-down. #BerlinCSD
@Alon I think “nie wieder still” (what a silly mix of English and German) is the official slogan/motto/theme of the #BerlinCSD this year and the corporate trucks seem to be required to feature each year’s official theme. https://csd-berlin.de/kampagne

Many corporate trucks with nie wieder slogans. The only one without it: Deutsche Bank.

But also a truck by the LGBTQ refugee support group Schwulenberatung Berlin. Consider supporting them if you can. https://schwulenberatungberlin.de/

My third last post on Twitter was this photo from Leipziger Platz two years ago:

BVG brought both a bus and a truck with LGBTQ decorations. No complaints about them today. Tomorrow, we go back to complaining about train delays. #BerlinCSD

I want to mock Axel-Springer for bringing its own nie wieder truck, but to give credit where due, Die Welt's coverage of the self-ID law was measured enough that it let Buschmann sell the law to the readers; for the UK equivalent of Die Welt, The Times, that's unthinkable. Bild even took the side of Israeli Jews posting hostage posters in October 2023 over the side of the cops who were removing these posters. #BerlinCSD

There is a delegation of marchers with Ukrainian flags, Ukrainian national emblems, and a Belarusian opposition flag. :)

And so far two corporate trucks (Duolingo, Rewe) say "nie wieder."

There is also a leather delegation with men wearing gimp suits and puppy masks, then a marcher with an EU Pride flag, then one with a red-and-black Antifa flag. Corporate Pride is still Pride. #BerlinCSD

Walking the #BerlinCSD route from end to beginning. I'm hearing I Will Survive, and trying to come up in real time with a filk addressing that Gloria Gaynor became homophobic after performing it.

Join us at Berlin Pride - we are meeting up at 11am at the Stadtmitte subway station and will join the Pride together. Look out for the big Glacierwatch flag!
