The media has changed things for homosexuals. The visibility now is much different. We now have shows, magazines, and movies that have started to show the homosexual life in a positive manner. Gays and lesbians are no longer the “victims of their situation” or the “victimizers of those around them.” For some of us it has become something to celebrate, as it should be! And these days, when it comes to gay pride events, Berlin is the place to be!
Christopher Street Day- Ranging in date from a weekend in June to one in August, this is one of the biggest Gay Representations Celebration not only in Germany, but across Eurote. It commemorates the Stonewall Riots that took place on Christopher Street in Greenwich Village, New York. The day is commemorated with a parade full of floats, and more recently political campaigns. This is a sight to behold if you ever get the chance!
Love Parade- This is not something specifically targeted at the LGBT community. It is however very accepting of the LGBT community, considered very gay friendly. One of “Berlin’s biggest parties!”
