When two men hold hands or kiss each other in the street, the still, even today, get dismissive looks or comments – or even worse. Still some people are offended when they see the apparent ‘different’ lifestyle, they are driven by prejudice. This results in the fact that gays abstain from doing such common and private acts of friendship.
We say that this should not be: Berlin is a cosmopolitan and tolerant city in which everyone can live in his way. Making sure that this tolerance is lived and supported by everyone in our city; that is what we want to achieve. That is why we invest all passion. Because we love our city: Berlin. We love diversity. We want everybody to feel welcome and at home.
We live tolerance – and want to commit ourselves to it. That is why our violence prevention campaign is in fact a love declaration to the city of berlin. It is love for cosmopolitanism and tolerance, to a peaceful society. And we invite everybody to join this love statement and seal it with a kiss.
A kiss is a very personal sign, and we already collected over 1’000 of them – and every day some more are coming.
Do you also want to commit to this? Do you also want to send us your kiss showing your love for openness and tolerance? Or send somebody a nice greeting from Berlin? – then our ‘I kiss kiss Berlin’ postcard is the thing you need. (available at MANEO – in the Mann-O-Meter offices located at Nollendorfplatz and in selected locations).
The Rainbow canoodle Bears with the ‚kiss kiss Berlin‘-Button are already now a popular Berlin souvenir.
Available for a donation of 2 EUR at MANEO – in the Mann-O-Meter offices located at Nollendorfplatz
