- Speakers including Petra Pau and Cansel Kiziltepe stressed the importance of solidarity and safeguarding queer rights.
- The Bundestag administration barred a queer group from participating, drawing sharp criticism from the CSD organizers.

We are fighting for our freedom and human rights.— Thomas Hoffmann, CSD board member, during the opening of the CSD in Berlin.
