I took my dad to pride today. After asking him and saying what itt might entail, I made him a free dad hugs sign:
While walking there, a lot of people pointed at him and said it was a cute idea. They were right.
My (and his) personal highlights were:
A guy hugging him and saying something in Ukrainian (bc of the flag, probably)
Someone asking him if they can call him "daddy" (I had to explain to him why I started laughing. He now knows.)
Someone giving him a rose
Someone kissing him on the cheeck
A lot of people seeing me standing around awkwardly while there was a line forming in front of him and hugging me too
A guy my dad's age hugging him with tears in his eyes
A kid my age shouting "I don't have a father!", Running towards and almost tackling him
A guy in a fetish-related dog mask hugging him and clinging to him like a lifeline
Two children between eight and ten initiating a group hug with him and giggling the entire time
Everyone thanking him afterwards and a lot of people saying he gives the best hugs in the world. One guy said he'd never been hugged like that before
This guy in a moving lorry shouting and making the lorry stop driving to get a hug from my dad:
My dad said that the majority of people hugging him were either older (25-60) queer men or younger (15-25) trans people. He really loved the experience and felt like a lot of the people, especially the older guys really needed it.
Anyway we're definitely doing this again next year

Hey y'all, if any of you are in Hamburg tomorrow, come meet me in the Gängeviertel!
If you didn't know, the Command Queer collective is organizing an alternative to the CSD parade in opposition of rainbow capitalism and a CSD culture that they feel isn't always welcoming to everyone it should be inclusive of. Their SPEKTAKEL is set to start with a rally in front of the Rote Flora from 14h-16h and then move on to the Gängeviertel.
The Queer Referat will have a booth there in the Gängeviertel (we're planning to start set-up around 17:30h, so we should be done around let's say 18h) and I'll help man it - come say hi! 🏳️🌈
Unter dem Motto: "Vereint in Liebe", gegen Hass, Krieg und Diskriminierung feierte man heute den 44. Christopher Street Day in Berlin. Die CSD-Parade führte von der Leipziger Straße über den Nollendorfplatz, vorbei an der Siegessäule zum Brandenburger Tor, wo es dort traditionell zur Abschlusskundgebung kam. Wir vom Fernsehfunk Berlin haben einige tolle Bilder von der CSD-Parade festgehalten.
