On Saturday evening, a tragic incident occurred in Berlin when a car drove into a crowd of people at the edge of the Christopher Street Day (CSD) celebrations. ZDF reporter Carsten Behrendt was on the scene and spoke with Andre Lehmann from the Queer Diversity Association. This incident has shocked many and raises questions about safety at such events. It is a reminder that despite the celebrations and love that the CSD embodies, there are also risks that cannot be ignored.
Lehmann emphasized in the conversation that the community is strong and will not back down in the face of such incidents. 'We are not going away - love is always stronger,' he said, calling for solidarity and unity. Many CSD participants expressed their concerns but also their courage to continue fighting for the rights and visibility of the LGBTQ+ community.
