How a café sign became a target of hate amid rising anti-LGBTQ+ violence in Berlin
In a corner of Berlin, Danjel Zarte opened Das Hoven café with a dream: to create a safe, welcoming space for everyone, especially the LGBTQ+ community. He hung a neon sign that glowed 'QUEER AND FRIENDS,' a bright beacon of acceptance in one of the city's trendiest neighbourhoods. But instead of drawing people together, that sign has become a target for hate. Over the last year and a half, Danjel's dream has been shattered—literally. Vandals have smashed the café's windows, smeared swastikas and even faeces on its walls, and harassed its staff. One terrifying night, a man stood outside brandishing a gun. 'It feels like an act of terror,' Danjel shared with the Associated Press. Mornings are the hardest—he wakes up dreading his phone, fearing news of another attack. Right now, there are 45 open criminal investigations tied to the café. This isn't just happening at Das Hoven. Across Germany, violence against LGBTQ+ people is spiking, even in Berlin, a city long celebrated as a haven for queer folks. Last year, 12 of Germany's 16 states saw a 40 per cent jump in attacks targeting the community, according to the Association of Counseling Centers for Victims of Right-Wing, Racist and Antisemitic Violence. And those are just the cases reported—many people stay silent, too scared to speak up. The rise of far-right groups like the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party isn't helping. Even though one of its leaders, Alice Weidel, is openly lesbian, the party pushes anti-LGBTQ+ policies, like calling for the repeal of same-sex marriage and promoting a 'traditional family' of a mother, father, and kids. Meanwhile, neo-Nazi marches are becoming bolder, often filled with young men eager to intimidate. 'You automatically run a very, very high risk simply because of who you are,' says Bastian Finke, who runs MANEO, a Berlin group tracking anti-gay violence. 'To be attacked, to be insulted, to be spat on. We have these scenarios every day,' he told the Associated Press. That fear lingers in the air, even in a city as vibrant as Berlin. This year's Christopher Street Day parade, one of the biggest Pride events around, felt bittersweet. The joy was there, but so was a quiet unease. Still, for Danjel, the parade offers a rare moment of relief. 'It is very moving to feel completely accepted once a year,' he said.

'Queer And Friends' Cafe Becomes Target Of Hate In Berlin, Endures 45 Attacks In 18 Months
A neon sign inside the Das Hoven cafe in a trendy Berlin neighbourhood proudly proclaims "QUEER AND FRIENDS." The sign was intended to show the cafe is a safe space for LGBTQ+ people. But it has also become a beacon for hate and homophobic attacks. Owner Danjel Zarte said there are 45 pending criminal investigations related to the cafe over the past year and a half, ranging from verbal and physical attacks on patrons and workers to windows being broken or covered in feces and swastika graffiti. One person even stood outside the cafe with a gun. "An act of terror," Zarte said. "I sometimes have panic attacks in the morning and am afraid to look at my cell phone because I'm afraid that something has happened again." Attacks against LGBTQ+ people and gay-friendly establishments are rising across Germany, including in Berlin, a city that has historically embraced the community, members of which often use the word queer to describe themselves. Last year, there was a 40% increase in violence targeting LGBTQ+ people in 12 of Germany's 16 federal states as compared to 2023, according to the Association of Counseling Centers for Victims of Right-Wing, Racist and Antisemitic Violence. Activists say those figures only show a fraction of the problem's scope because victims are often afraid to come forward. They partly blame the rise of the far-right across Europe, including in Germany where the Alternative for Germany party made significant gains in the February election. Hostility toward LGBTQ+ people serves as a "rallying cry" for believers in right-wing extremism, according to Judith Porath, the association's managing director. Experts have seen an increase in demonstrations and violence among neo-Nazis, most of whom are young men. Bastian Finke, the head of MANEO, an organisation tracking anti-gay violence in the capital city, said those who are openly queer on Berlin's roads "automatically run a very, very high risk simply because of who they are. To be attacked, to be insulted, to be spat on. We have these scenarios every day." The fear was palpable at Saturday's Christopher Street Day parade in Berlin. The annual Pride event commemorates the 1969 Stonewall rebellion in New York City, when a spontaneous street uprising was triggered by a police raid on the Stonewall Inn gay bar on Christopher Street in Greenwich Village. "The mood is actually tense: People are afraid, they are unsettled," Thomas Hoffmann, a member of the event's executive board, said Saturday. Hundreds of thousands of people showed up for the celebration, dancing to techno beats as they marched to the iconic Brandenburg Gate. "That is really a powerful, wonderful sign for more equality," Hoffmann added. Hoffmann and others have long wanted German lawmakers to amend the constitution to explicitly include the legal protection of LGBTQ+ people from discrimination based on gender identity. But that looks unlikely to become a political priority. For Zarte, the stress of hate crimes and politics is nonstop, except during the Christopher Street Day parade, which always brings him to tears. "It is very moving to feel completely accepted once a year," he said.
