Vandals target Munich's first gay maypole

A Munich gay group filed charges this week after unknown vandals took a paintbrush to the city's first gay-themed maypole. Spattered with grey paint were depictions of gay life in Munich's Glockenbachviertel neighborhood, where hundreds of gay and straight residents gathered last Thursday to erect the maypole, said Conrad Breyer, spokesman for the Gay Communication and Culture Centre of Munich (SUB).

"It could have been a stupid youth prank, but everywhere there were gay motifs - like a rainbow - exactly those points were painted. One could assume it's an anti-gay act," Breyer told The Local.  Vandals target Munich's first gay maypole
