‘At least one person has died and 15 people were injured, "some seriously", after a vehicle was suspected of striking a crowd near Berlin's annual Pride event, Christopher Street Day (CSD), on Saturday night, police said.’

This is very sad news. Would rather the event was postponed than cancelled - it sends the wrong message to these murderous homophobes.

It’s very sad that news outlets appear far more likely to cover the story of a #Pride attack than a Pride which has passed off peacefully in a spirit of love and respect. When news coverage is absent from an event, it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen…but it doesn’t enter into the wider public consciousness. If the only MSM coverage of #LGBTQ is of bad things happening, regardless of who the perpetrator is, then this leaves an overall negative impression. We need to call the media out.
