109 Photos as Berlin Celebrates Pride and Marriage

Germany had major reason to celebrate this Pride season, with marriage equality now on its way. Saturday's Christopher Street Day Parade followed the country's president making marriage equality official on Thursday by signing a law approved by Parliament. German Chancellor Angela Merkel was forced to allow the vote, though she voted against same-sex marriage. The first marriages are expected in October.
