#berlinpride

The perpetrator of the attack on Berlin Pride has been shot by the police. For many, that seems to close the case. It doesn't. We want answers. We want to know why this happened, how it happened, whether it could have been prevented, and whether anyone else was involved. We want this investigated thoroughly, not quietly filed away and forgotten. And we refuse to let our pain become a weapon against innocent people. We will not allow an attack on our community to be used to target other marginalised communities. Nor will we accept conservatives, the far right, or fascists suddenly pretending to stand with us. They have spent years fuelling hostility towards queer people. They hate us too. They are not our allies. Justice means truth, accountability, and protecting everyone from hatred, not simply choosing a different group to hate. #Berlin #BerlinPride #Pride #LGBTQIA #Queer #StandWithQueerPeople #AgainstHate #NoToFascism #Solidarity #HumanRights

Yesterday, queer people were attacked. One is dead. Many are injured. Today, the ghouls crawl out on schedule. They laugh. They celebrate. They joke about corpses and broken bodies. Under their real names, no masks, no shame. Hate has become so normal that they don't even bother hiding it anymore. Imagine being so morally bankrupt that your idea of humour is a murdered queer person (or an immigrant, a Muslim, etc.) No. These people didn't appear out of nowhere. They were cultivated. Excused. Platformed. Told they were "just asking questions." Told their bigotry was "a valid opinion." This is where that road leads. So don't ask us why we need Pride. Ask yourselves why so many people have become perfectly comfortable cheering when queer people bleed. #Pride #LGBTQIA #NoPasaran #StandUpToHate #BerlinPride #Solidarity
