A recent event at Berlin's Botanical Garden, titled 'Queens & Flowers', sparked discussions due to a performance featuring a drag queen displaying highly charged poses in front of an audience that included children. The event was publicly advertised as a colorful family festival and was supported with €40,000 of public funds. However, upon closer inspection, some attendees and observers raised concerns about the suitability of the performance for children, given its explicit nature. The performance, part of a broader trend in showcasing diverse art forms, highlighted a tension between artistic expression and appropriateness for all age groups. The article suggests a disparity between the event's publicized family-friendly intent and the onstage content, raising questions about the allocation of government funds for such events.
