Hangin' with the Schwule und Lesben

---

Yesterday was the Christopher Street Day Parade in Berlin, the joyous finale to Berlin Pride. More than any other pride festival I have witnessed, what impressed me most about this event was how everyone - gay, straight, young, old, singles, families, etc. - came out to cheer on the crazy show. Grandmothers and small children cheered as the human dogs passed; bemused tourists had pictures taken with men in backless chaps. The whole city was celebrating. And my faith in humanity was given a major boost....

The photos should speak for themselves.

PS The day was kicked off with a ceremony at the Denkmal fur die im Nationalsozialismus verfolgten Homosexuellen (Monument to the Homosexuals Persecuted during National Socialism), at which the gay mayor of Berlin, Klaus Wowereit, gave a speech. While I didn't understand much (my high school German has, alas, withered considerably!), I was still happy to experience the moment and see the mayor up close!
