The demonstration was part of “Christopher Street Day,” where people advocate for the rights of members of the LGBTQ+ community. 

The motto for this year’s day is “Only strong together – for democracy and diversity.” 

Organisers for the event say these words were chosen as the tone against the queer community in Germany is reportedly becoming harsher.  

Famous German singer Herbert Grönemeyer sang as part of the demonstration.
