- In 2025, almost every second Christopher Street Day (CSD) in Germany experienced attacks or disturbances, with nearly half attributed to right-wing extremists.
- Right-wing groups actively attempt to block or disrupt Pride events, sometimes organizing counter-demonstrations involving hundreds of participants.
- The Amadeu Antonio Foundation provided 100,000 euros through its Rainbow Protection Fund this year to support 50 CSDs with enhanced security measures.
- In some locations, the foundation's assistance was crucial for holding CSDs, as local authorities often lacked sufficient capacity to ensure safety.
The attacks on CSDs are not random provocations, but part of a strategy: right-wing extremists are trying to conquer public space and intimidate democratic civil society.— Lea Lochau from the Amadeu-Antonio-Stiftung on the rising anti-queer developments.

- The third Pride event in Bautzen drew approximately 3000 participants and 400 supporters advocating for human dignity and queer visibility.
- Police maintained a large presence to separate groups and ensure the demonstrations proceeded peacefully despite some verbal conflicts.
- A counter-protest of around 450 people, smaller than last year's 680, opposed the Pride event under strict regulations.
- This year’s theme, “Human dignity is inviolable. Also in Bautzen!” highlighted resistance against hatred and aggression.
It is an incredibly great feeling to look into so many beautiful faces.— Jonas Löschau, spokesperson for the organizing team, during the Christopher Street Day in Bautzen.
