Christopher Street Day: Bundestag hoists rainbow flag for the first time

The Bundestag hoisted the rainbow flag for the first time, which with its six colorful stripes is a symbol of the queer community and stands for tolerance. Such a flag has been flying on the southwest tower of the Berlin Reichstag building, the seat of the German Parliament, since Saturday morning. Two more were raised in front of the east and west portals of the building. The occasion is the large demonstration planned in Berlin from noon on the occasion of Christopher Street Day (CSD), to which the organizers expect hundreds of thousands of participants.
