Yes, Barcelona has a triumphal arch built for the 1888 World’s Fair. It’s made out of brick. Instead of being a monument to war it’s a monument to industrial achievement. i can’t really think of any achievement that any arch in DC would commemorate.

Given the current manufactured panic around asylum seekers ostensibly lying about being LGBTQ in order to be granted asylum, I wouldn’t be surprised if European countries started removing LGBTQ status as a qualifier.

Germany’s AfD has won Saxony-Anhalt’s state election with 43.8% of the vote. It could be the first time since WWII that a far-right party governs a German state. Here’s a quick recap of the AfD’s stance on queer rights – despite the fact that its federal co-chair, Alice Weidel, is openly lesbian.

This also happened with the retelling of the story of pre-war Germany until very recently. Christopher Isherwood's stories, which inspired Cabaret, are part of that queer self-shaming that happened. To Isherwood's credit, he walked it back later in life and instead celebrated it.
