What NOT to do as a straight person at Pride (CSD)

Berlin’s Pride (happening July 27 this year!) is called Christopher Street Day (CSD) after the street where tbe Stonewall Riots happened in New York City. #berlin #csdberlin #lgbtqia #shorts

Who are you to give us permission and tell us what to do and what not to

As a gay man in Berlin, I'm so fed up with it. "If you want a picture? Just ask!" You're at a public event and if someone takes a photo, it can "happen" for positive reasons (I like your dress soooo much, etc.). Always falling into the victim role. EVERYONE is always screaming for equality, recognition, respect... Here we see a good example: We are all the same BUT not today/tonight. Over and over again the victim role. Can't you just demonstrate/celebrate/live together? You always look for equality but at the same time make yourselves "special". shelax, buddy! I'm proud that I can demonstrate and celebrate with my friends (straight/gay etc.) without having prejudices and without distancing myself. Over and out. Best example a few years ago when "marriage for all" came about. In the same year the motto of the CSD in Berlin was "Thank you for nothing!" Somehow it's not supposed to get better, is it? Afraid of no longer being "special"?

If your expression of yourself is entertaining for others think twice about it.

Love is love but being naked in public or dressed as dogs is still called being a weirdo and metally disturbed

In Warsaw the Pride Parade organization got split into 3 different entities, coz some dudes did not like that some corpo started selling pride merch

I will show them as much respect as they show others.



Which isn't very much.

That might be the case for any other CSD. A demo in berlin is always a party and nothing else.
And the stage show is at 15:30 while the event is set to end at midnight. You wanna tell me its about politics and not party hard?

You're a guest at humanity.. Be grateful that we tolerate you!

Aren't protests to pass on a law or right they want passed? And they already get treated better by the government that normal people
