Police in Munich: “For solidarity, tolerance and acceptance, not just today”

The Munich police posted a colorful picture on Monday. “For solidarity, tolerance and acceptance, not just today,” the officials wrote. On Tuesday evening, the ZDF posted a Mainzelmännchen who was painting a rainbow on a window pane. Previously, the station Pro Sieben had announced that it would have its logo shining in the rainbow colors.

The European Football Union UEFA decided on Tuesday that the stadium in Munich should not shine in rainbow colors as a symbol of tolerance and equality during the group final of the German national team against Hungary. The city had made an official application for rainbow lighting. The background to this is a law that restricts young people’s right to information about homosexuality and transsexuality in Hungary and was approved by the Hungarian parliament last week.
