The Munich Lion Club, known for GaySunday at the Oktoberfest, has been around for 50 years now. Munich’s second mayor also stops by the club’s strong beer festival – and fulfills a thankless task.
Maybe you start with what’s on the bar tables on Sunday, between beer glasses and cigarette packs. There are condoms and lubricants there, both from associations and initiatives that promote safe sex. There are two utensils that should not be unfamiliar to the predominantly male guests here in the Augustinerkeller. And which, in all their obviousness, are a small indication that today it is possible to talk and write about sex and love, even between two men, and even about the leather and latex scene, more openly than perhaps ever before.
