Drag queen Sister Daphne OSPI pushed aside her pink veil, fluttered her long purple eyelashes and raised her hands to bless the crowd at Berlin’s first drag march.
She was among the organizers of Friday afternoon's event, which served as the opening act for one of Europe’s largest LGBTQ+ celebrations. Hundreds of thousands of people are expected Saturday to join Berlin's pride parade, known in Germany as Christopher Street Day.
