"The new president of the German parliament, Julia Klöckner — who is a member of Chancellor Friedrich Merz's conservative party — says the rainbow flag will no longer be raised on top of the legislature building during Pride month, which runs every year in Germany from June 28 until July 27. She has also prohibited parliamentary public servants from attending Pride in an official capacity and lawmakers have been asked to take down rainbow flags and stickers from office doors.
"Speaking on public broadcaster ARD, Merz signaled his support for the rule at Germany's parliament, the Bundestag, with the words, "the Bundestag is not a circus tent" — a remark to which many have taken umbrage.
"Merz backs his colleague's argument that the lower house must maintain neutrality and cannot support events with a political agenda."
There are whiners insisting that Pride is not political. Does anyone seriously believe this?
Blame Trump. Overdone and offensive political signaling by the LGBTQ activists, who claim to speak for a lot of LGBTs who just want to be left alone could not have anything to do with it.
