Two European cities are hosting Pride events under increased security after an extremist attack in Berlin...
Hamburg's Pride parade, one of Germany's largest, drew about 300,000 attendees, according to police and organizers. Hamburg is Germany's second-largest city. Hamburg's police chief said earlier this week that roughly twice as many officers as last year would protect the event. The Hamburg event's motto this year is "Queer in solidarity. Take a stand — for a future without fear."
Amsterdam is holding a canal boat parade on Saturday. The event is the highlight of the city's annual Pride festival. Openly gay Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten, dressed in a white shirt, black life vest and gold necklace, waved to gigantic crowds as he sailed in a small boat through the colorfully decorated parade of 80 vessels. Techno music pumped from speakers along the route. Other boats taking part in the parade included vessels representing the Dutch government ministries, the military and police as well as LGBTQ+ organizations and clubs.
A World Pride celebration is also being hosted in the Dutch capital this year.--------------------------------------------
