De eerste homoseksuele burgemeester van München kuste zijn verloofde waar iedereen bij was na zijn overwinning, en de video ging binnen enkele seconden viraal
Dominik Krause liep het podium op, won de verkiezing, en het eerste wat hij deed was in de menigte naar zijn verloofde zoeken om hem te kussen. 😮

Hij is de eerste kandidaat van de Groene Partij — en de eerste openlijk homoseksuele politicus — die het ambt van burgemeester van München bekleedt. In een context waarin LGBTQ+-rechten in meerdere landen ter discussie worden gesteld en veel queer politici ervoor kiezen zichzelf te ‘matigen’ om erbij te passen, werkte Krauses gebaar precies de andere kant op: hij zette het volume niet lager, hij draaide het juist omhoog. In het openbaar noemde hij hem ‘de liefde van mijn leven’. 💚

De TikTok-video haalde binnen enkele uren bijna 6K likes en meer dan 5,400 shares. Niet vanwege een schandaal — maar omdat veel mensen op een verkiezingsavond nog nooit zoiets hadden gezien. Een omhelzing die voor duizenden voelde als een voor en na. 🏳️🌈
Dominik Krause has been elected mayor of Munich, marking a historic moment as both the first Green Party leader and the city’s first out gay mayor. The 35-year-old secured victory with 56.4% of the vote, defeating former Social Democratic Party mayor Dieter Reiter in the run-off. Krause celebrated the win by kissing his fiancé, Sebastian Müller, after thanking “the love of my life, without whom all of this would not have been possible.” Sharing the moment on Instagram, he wrote: “Munich, you are simply insane! Our town has chosen to break the dawn today. Thank you for this incredible trust. Let’s get it on!” Krause, who has served on the city council since 2014 and became Second Mayor in 2023, is a Green politician, with a focus on climate action, sustainable urban development, digitalisation, and social policy. As mayor, he has pledged to prioritise affordable housing, accelerate transport reform, strengthen climate protections, and champion an open, cosmopolitan Munich.
