Overview
- The readings by drag queens Kaey and Vivienne Lovecraft went ahead as scheduled inside the museum and drew a strong audience, according to a Stadtmuseum spokesperson.
- Berlin police counted about 60 protesters outside, some carrying AfD-branded placards with slogans such as “Finger weg von unseren Kindern”; local AfD politician Martin Kohler addressed the crowd.
- A nearby counterdemonstration drew roughly 200–220 participants under the banner “Berlin steht gegen die AfD – 100 Drag Queens für ein buntes Berlin.”
- The museum reported an on-site awareness team and security presence, and said prior drag queen readings at the venue have been well received.
