In Bautzen, Germany, the Christopher Street Day (CSD) parade proceeded under heavy police protection due to anticipated right-wing protests.

The event, which celebrates LGBTQ+ rights, faced significant opposition, with counter-demonstrations organized by groups opposing "gender propaganda.

" Despite the tension, the parade concluded without major incidents, thanks to the police's strategy of keeping opposing groups apart.

However, the planned CSD after-party was canceled due to security concerns, as organizers felt they lacked the resources to ensure safety.

The decision followed a break-in at the original party venue, where €1,500 was stolen.

The situation highlights ongoing challenges faced by the LGBTQ+ community in the region, as noted by local politicians who condemned the hate and threats against queer individuals.
