Few cities wear their queerness as openly as Berlin. From weekend-long techno to lakeside picnics, political marches to community reading circles — the scene here organises itself, and has done so for over a century.
Schöneberg's old-guard bars, Neukölln's collectives, Kreuzberg's club rooms, and the cafés and lakeside hangouts in between. Most of Berlin's queer venues are run by the scene itself, not for it.
