Hitlergruß und Hass: Hunderte Neonazis reisten nach Leipzig um den #CSDLeipzig zu stören. Bereits bei der Ankunft wurden die Rechtsextremen von der Polizei aufgehalten und der Aufmarsch aufgelöst. Der Vorwurf: Verdacht auf Verhetzung. #le1708

🏔️💍🏳️‍🌈 Here’s a peak #PrideMonth story - the courageous @dastanik of @pinksummits proposed to his boyfriend Chris on the top of North America’s tallest mountain. A decade ago, Dastan was being hounded out of his homeland for being gay. For @outsports outsports.com/2024/6/3/24094…

This weekend, more than 1.5 mio (!) people took to the streets against the far-right AfD in Germany - and people should know about it. As in many countries, right-extremism is rising, elections are close, it seemed hopeless. Yet, this wave erupted over night. It is so hopeful.🔥

I was lucky enough to interview Kyrgyz climber @dastanik in 2020, about his dream to climb the highest peaks on every continent for LGBT+ rights and Kyrgyzstan openlynews.com/i/?id=bb1ff85…

This gay climber planned to scale Mont Blanc to raise LGBT+ visibility. Instead, he is in lockdown

🏳️‍🌈 A Pride flag is now flying openly and proud near the Putin Peak in Kyrgyzstan. 🏔️ Gay climbers protested against Russia’s invasion of Ukraine by raising the rainbow flag close to the peak named after the Russian president. 🇺🇦 The climbers also raised a Ukrainian flag.
