For the first time in history, LGBT flags were raised in Germany. One flag flies over the Bundestag building, while two others fly in front of it. aussiedlerbote.de reports.
The flags were reportedly placed in honor of the Christopher Street Day (CSD) parade, where organizers expect hundreds of thousands of participants.
“In this way, the parliament shows the” flag of tolerance and diversity “. It makes it clear to everyone:” Gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and intersex people are an important part of our country, “Berbel Bas , chairman of the Bundestag, said in a video message.
The decision was met with mixed reviews. Many Twitter users do not support the position of the authorities, including representatives of the LGBT community, but the authorities consider this an important step.
“We are a modern and diverse country. It is time for us, as government agencies, to show this more clearly. Therefore, it is important for me to change this completely outdated practice and allow the rainbow flag to be raised in federal buildings in some cases. We want discrimination against people based on sexual identity to stop in all areas of society,” explained Federal Minister of the Interior and Home Affairs Nancy Faser.
Remember that the best Russian tennis player Daria Kasatkina came out. Kasatkina became the second famous Russian athlete to publicly declare his homosexuality. The first is soccer player Nadezhda Karpova.
