Happy Pride Month from all of us at DAAD USA! While Pride is full of fun events and parades celebrating the joy and resilience of the LGBT community, it's also an important time for activism. Last year, nearly 200 German actors came out together as LGBTQ+ as a part of the #ActOut Manifesto, which was published online and in the Süddeutsche Zeitung. The manifesto served to demand increased diversity in film, TV, and theater.
You can read the #ActOut Manifesto online here. |
