Gay Mayor Welcomes S & M Fest to Berlin

Posted on August 31, 2005 by glasscastle

BERLIN (Reuters) – Berlin’s mayor Klaus Wowereit on
Tuesday fended off criticism for giving an official welcome to a sado-masochism
festival expected to draw thousands of leather-clad visitors to the German
capital this weekend.

"The first weekend in September stands for the pure zest for life," Wowereit
wrote in a message of greeting in the official program of the Folsom-Europe
Street Festival. "A warm welcome to Berlin!"

Members of the conservative opposition Christian Democrats (CDU), and even
political leaders from within Wowereit’s own Social Democrat party (SPD),
said Wowereit’s public endorsement of the leather and fetish festival showed
poor taste.

They also questioned whether it was appropriate for the mayor of Germany’s
largest city, who became a nationally known figure when he outed himself
in 2001, to support the festival.

    Let me ask you and all readers, do you not think that our virgins have far finer breasts and beauty than those of the pale specimens you show here? Just compare them to the picture below which you were so kind to share with the world. Also not sure what the attraction is with this festival you describe. Try being abducted by a group of rebels if you really want to experience this sense of enslavement. There is also the white slavery market.

    All I can say is that this never would have happened (at least in front of closed doors) if we had stayed in power. Imagine, a gay mayor in Berlin. Many of my colleagues are turning over in their graves.
