CSD (Christopher Street day) is the day that the community of LGBT people all get together, to be pride and walk long the city. That's the gay pride parade in Germany. Usually depend on which city you are, the date of CSD also will be different. At the very beginning, just like most of the gay pride. It was more a political movement. Though time, the political message is less than before, more tend to the celebration direction. For some people may dislike the present gay pride or CSD. But personally I still find it brilliant. The concept and the meaning behind it still have impact to the people. I mean, more and more people be proud of who they are and celebrating it with other. It's definitely a good thing. I have been to the CSD in Berlin serval times now. There is quite a lot going on inside parade. It totally Just don't miss out the fallen gifts from the sky. It totally depend on yourself if you want to walk with different parties or just be an audience. That's kinda a special part of the CSD. I have tied them both. My experience is, if you don't mind the crowd and the loud music. The walk with the people, it really cool experience, they offer you a pair ear plus anyway, when you need them. If you don't like these two but still want to have a look or celebrate with others. Being an audience isn't a bad idea either. And don't look up for the fallen gift from the sky. It's quite nice that they let people just join if want. The CSD is definitely one of the biggest events of the gay sense in Berlin. It usually starts in June. Every year it offer something new and of course some parts are the same. And this is the place you can dress up or to be yourself freely. And people are really kind and friendly. Don't be afraid, if you find something or someone interested, want a photo or make a conversation with. Just go there, simply say hi. read more
