The UK stands in solidarity with Germany and everyone affected by the appalling incident in Berlin. Pride is a celebration of human rights, freedom and dignity. Violence and hatred have no place in our societies, and must never be allowed to undermine these shared values.
Was für eine abscheuliche Tat in Berlin. Hunderttausende Menschen aus aller Welt feierten friedlich beim Christopher Street Day. Sie wollten, dass wir gut und tolerant miteinander umgehen. Das ist ein Angriff auf unsere Gesellschaft.

“Inclusivity is not optional, it’s imperative.” As the #CHOGM2024 People’s Forum kicks off, the Prime Minister for Samoa is unequivocal. Against many global challenges - climate, health, & freedom of expression - ALL people must be included.
