Falkensee celebrates variety: CSD defies right -wing counter -protests!
Falkensee, Deutschland - On Saturday afternoon, July 5, 2025, a Christopher Street Day (CSD) took place in Falkensee, which was under the motto diversity and tolerance. Several hundred people came together to demonstrate for their concerns. Despite a counter -demonstration, which only consisted of a few dozen participants: the move was peaceful. The police were strongly present to ensure the security of the demonstrators, and according to a police spokeswoman, there were no disturbances during the event. At the town hall, the rainbow flag was blew, a sign of coexistence, which is not shared by everyone. In January, the AfD spoke out against the hoist of the rainbow flag, which illustrated the tensions for this symbolism.
The counter-demonstrators carried striking T-shirts with the inscription "German Youth" and slogans such as "Heimatreu" and "ready to fight". A banner was even "No to the CSD !!!". This youth group, which is classified as right -wing extremist by the Federal Ministry of the Interior, is known for misanthropic activities that are directed against queer people and politically dissenters. In June, an attack on a feast for diversity in Bad Freienwalde was reported, in which several people were violated, which shows the dangers that can result from such extremist attitude.
right -wing extremism in focus
The Berlin constitutional protection recently targeted new right -wing extremists. Protection against the constitution Michael Fischer announced that the observed groups are no longer only classified as suspected cases, but as "proven right -wing extremist". This also includes the “German youth”, which has carried out interference against CSD events in the past. These groups use social media and digital platforms to recruit young people for their ideologies, for example under the pretext of lifestyle topics such as nutrition and nature.
The observation of these extremist networks has increased in urgency because Fischer warned that dangerous actions could result from the online hatred. The right -wing extremist scene has changed significantly in recent years and is no longer just a phenomenon of the Internet, but is increasingly also showing presence on the street. This also left its mark on the CSD in Falkensee.
queer anti -ideologies
A central element of right-wing extremist ideology is the group-related misanthropy that is specifically directed against the LSBTIQ movement. The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution is increasingly observing queer -anti -queer statements on the Internet and an increase in protests during the Pride Month. Right -wing extremists reject diversity in sexual orientation and propagate a heteronormative view that they represent as "natural".
In recent years, disruptive campaigns against CSD events have taken place nationwide, often with participation in the three-digit range. These actions have been organized not only by classic right -wing extremist organizations, but also by violent internet groups. The use of defaming content and mobilization against queer people have become a recurring pattern.
The events in Falkensee therefore reflect not only a local, but also a national problem that showed how important visibility, solidarity and use for diversity are in society. Activist Sister Daphne emphasized that this visibility is essential to counteract the challenges that queer people counter
