On the occasion of the Christopher Street Day (CSD) parades this weekend, Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier called for greater safety and solidarity for queer people. This appeal comes in the wake of a recent terrorist act that overshadowed the celebrations in Berlin.

Steinmeier emphasized the need to advocate for the self-determination of the queer community. He spoke in a context that included several similar parades in different cities and urged society to join together in support of the safety and rights of queer individuals.
