First, Julia Klöckner, the president of the German parliament, refused to fly the rainbow flag for Berlin Pride. She had some bizarre reasons for this, culminating in a statement that the most persecuted group would be Christians, and she wouldn’t fly the Vatican flag either.
Then our chancellor, Friedrich Merz, dismissed raising the rainbow flag by saying, “The parliament is not a circus.”
Can you show your utter disdain for a minority group any more clearly?
Our current right-wing government is a disgrace. Most of its members, from CDU, CSU, and SPD, are straight out of a 50s White male superiority picture book.
They pose a grave danger to our future.
