A van plowed into Berlin’s Pride crowd, followed by a stabbing, leaving one dead and several injured — a chilling attack by a 21-year-old German citizen with Lebanese roots, still at large and armed. The assault, occurring hours after a joyous celebration, has shattered safety for LGBTQ+ communities, especially as Ali Darwich, a gay Muslim police officer, shares his anguish over rising hate, racism, and polarization. While officials and leaders condemn the violence as an attack on Berlin’s core values of diversity and freedom, many fear society’s response has been too slow. Yet amid the grief, resilience shines: Pride attendees leave tributes, reaffirming their right to exist and visibility — vowing this hate will not silence them.
