Bundestag Raises Rainbow Flag at Reichstag Building for International Day Against Homophobia
The President of the Bundestag, Julia Klöckner, has authorized the display of the rainbow flag at the Reichstag in recognition of the International Day Against Homophobia.
This annual event aims to promote awareness and support for LGBTQ+ rights. The decision to raise the flag, distinct from its use during the Christopher Street Day (CSD) celebrations, underscores the Bundestag’s commitment to combating homophobia and fostering inclusivity.
