Berlin's Olympic Stadium was lit up in rainbow colors on June 23 as Germany took on Hungary in their Euro 2020 game in Munich. The move at the capital venue came after <span class="caps">UEFA</span> refused a request for Munich's Allianz Arena to be similarly illuminated. The Munich request came in the wake of legislation passed in Hungary restricting the sharing with minors of content portraying homosexuality. <span class="caps">UEFA</span> said that due to the "the political context" of the request, it "must decline." Munich's mayor, Dieter Reiter_, called the <span class="caps">UEFA</span> decision "shameful" and promised the rainbow flag would fly at the town hall. On Twitter ahead of the game, the Olympic Stadium, home of the soccer team Hertha Berlin, said, "When it comes to tolerance and human rights, we'll be there – tomorrow, from 9 pm Rainbow#olympiastadionberlin." Other German clubs made similar gestures, including Eintracht Frankfurt and Wolfsburg. The video, captured by https://www.instagram.com/p/CQelXJYoXT_/ Samni Krueger , shows the lit-up arena.
