Kiel shows flag: solidarity after attack on Pride banners!

In a shocking incident at the Muthesius Kunsthochschule in Kiel, unknown persons took a pride banner at the weekend and replaced it with a flag of Germany! The campaign ensures excitement and outrage among the students and the public. A spokeswoman for the university confirmed on Monday that a new Pride banner has already been ordered, which is a further development of the classic rainbow flag. This new banner will be better protected by a castle in the future to prevent such vandalism files.

solidarity for diversity and against vandalism

The university sets a clear sign of queer life and diversity! On Sunday evening, according to the police, around 250 people gathered to a rally in the courtyard of the art college to show their solidarity and protest against the crime. The police have initiated investigations into property damage to hold those responsible for accounting. In a strong reaction to the incident, the Kiel University of Applied Sciences had Pride flags on Monday to demonstrate their support for the LGBTQ+community.

This incident throws a bright light on the challenges with which the LGBTQ+community is confronted and shows how important it is to stand up for diversity and acceptance. The Kiel universities are firmly on the side of the queer community and cannot be intimidated by such actions!
