TERRY TEADTKE Specializing in Fine Vintage and Historic Homes Certified By The National Trust For Historic Perservation (503) 781-0599 (503) 239-9009 Windermere Cronin Caplin Real Estate espite rain and chilly weather, a half-mil lion people turned out for Berlin’s Christo pher Street Day Gay Pride parade June 23. three-mile march from the Kurfeurstendamm shopping street to the government district to City Hall featured 80 floats. Openly gay Berlin Mayor Klaus Wowereit told a post-parade rally, “We won’t give the right-wing extrem ists a finger’s width.” The rainbow flag flew over City Hall as he spoke. Wowereit, 47, came out June 10— six days before city councilors elected him by a vote of 89-78. About 84 percent of Germans told pollsters last month they have Klaus Wowereit no problem with the idea of a gay mayor in Berlin. Wowereit made the announcement during a speech at the Social Democratic Party’s conven tion. “I’m gay, and that’s a good thing,” he said, receiving lengthy applause. Paris elected openly gay Socialist Bertrand Delanoe, 50, March 18. One commentator, writing in the newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine, said because Parisians have a gay mayor, Berlin ers obviously wanted one, too. “The most remarkable thing about it may well have been that it was not remarkable at all,” Ger man political scientist Michael Dreyer said. “In the week between the candidate’s coming out and today’s parliamentary election, some media have mentioned his coming out in a matter-of- fact way, but virtually the only comments and editorials I saw just mentioned it in passing and then generally favorably, as a welcome openness. Not one of the conservative politicians who are now replaced has made an unfriendly remark or comment in that regard. Any such remark would have been quite out of place in the German polit ical culture anyway—you don’t comment on your fellow politicians’ private lives.” Franz Muentefering, secretary general of German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder’s Social Democratic Party, said other gay politicians should come out of the closet, too. His daughter is a lesbian. “Homosexuals and lesbians in politics can help their party, themselves and public opinion if they do not disguise” their sexuality, Muente fering told Stem magazine June 20. “You create confidence, and [homosexuality] is not whis pered about. Someone who tells the truth about this is someone who will tell the truth about other things. That is how people see this issue.” D [ledtâ, PC C mca / í - GERMANY tions—came from the State Department. “Our coalition is heartened by this opportu nity to finally honor the memories of these gay men and lesbians who were killed by the Nazis, The and we are appreciative to the U.S. government for acknowledging these non-Jewish victims,” said Julie Dorf, a founder of the Pink Triangle Coalition and former head of the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission. The money will be distributed to three Ger man groups and one international agency. Planned projects include films, books, CD- ROMs and Internet sites. AUSTRIA n outdoor exhibit on the Nazi persecution of homosexuals was destroyed by vandals June 13 in Vienna. The pink-triangle pillars displaying photos and documents related to the Third Reich’s anti-gay repression and murder had been erected in Helden- platz, a public square. Vienna’s cultural affairs department will pay to have the exhibit repaired. “It is rather strange that there are no eyewit nesses to the attack, because this is a place which is never completely deserted,” said Kurt Krickler of Homosexual Initiative Vienna. “People pass A This outdoor exhibit on the Nazi persecution of homosexuals was a victim of vandals in Vienna by there in the night, there is a disco nearby, and what is most surprising, the police did not take notice of the attack, although the exhibit is only 200 meters from the Federal Chancellery and the office of the federal president, which we assumed would be especially police-protected.” BRAZIL bout 200,000 people turned out for the Gay Pride parade June 17 in Sao Paulo, making it the largest march of its kind anywhere in the Third World. The city’s first parade six years ago attracted only 2,000 people. Mayor Marta Suplicy addressed the celebrants at a rally in the gay bar district.
