Bundesliga: FC Bayern Munich supports its lesbian and gay fans during Christopher Street Day

FC Bayern Munich (Bundesliga) provided support for "Queerpass Bayern", the club's gay and lesbian fan club, on Christopher Street Day, a day of celebration, commemoration and demonstration for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people, held in Germany on Saturday, 13/07/2019.

The German club offered shirts and footballs to the 40 members of the group who took part in a march through the streets of Munich (Bavaria, GER). The club also provided its mascot Berni and lit the Allianz Arena (75,000 capacity) with the colours of the rainbow flag, a symbol of the LGBT community.

"Along with our 'Queerpass' fan club we want to continually make a stand for tolerance and diversity and against racism and homophobia. Football brings people together and, as an open-minded club, we want to make our own contribution," said Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, chairman of FC Bayern Munich's supervisory board.
