Activist Green to combat hate crimes targeting LGBTQ+ community
Harping on Harmony: Berlin's Green Party Takes Aim at Queerphobia
Let's talk about the Greens, shall we? They're tackling queerphobic hate crimes head-on, aiming to put a stop to the legal discrimination faced by the LGBTQ+ community. That's according to a motion, 21/580, set to be discussed in the Bundestag today.
These right-wing extremist jabs at the queer community are no joke. They're not just intimidating—they're trying to push an entire population group back into the shadows, stripping queer folks of their basic rights. The Greens are sounding the alarm, demanding a strong, unmistakable response from the state and society to these vicious assaults on the safety and fundamental rights of LGBTQ+ individuals.
Sadly, there are businesses caveing to political pressure and withdrawing from CSD sponsorship, which threatens the financial and organizational stability of these events. But fear not, Green-loving folks, they got a plan!
Here's what's on their agenda:
- Cooperate with the states to protect CSD demonstrations from violence and hate speech. They're suggesting sensitizing security authorities and developing strategic protection concepts.
- Implement the recommendations of the working group on "Combating homophobic and transphobic violence", commissioned by the Interior Ministers' Conference.
- Equip the nation with a reliable reporting center for LGBTQ+ hate crimes to improve the recording of these incidents.
- Continue the "Queer living" action plan of the federal government, focusing on acceptance and protection of sexual and gender diversity.
They're also gunning for a law that explicitly adds a ban on discrimination based on "sexual identity" to Article 3, Paragraph 3 of the Basic Law. Plus, they're hopping to engage in dialogue with the democratic factions of the Bundestag to build the necessary constitutional majority for these changes.

After all, knowledge is power, and we're all in this together. Let's create a world where everyone can live free from fear and discrimination. 💪🏿🏳️🌈💛💚💙🌈🔥🚀💥⚧️✊💯💔🌟💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🧡💛💚💙💗💞💖💝💘💗❤️💕💖💖💖💖😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
- The Greens, in their fight against queerphobia, are also advocating for the following in the realm of general-news and politics: implementing a reliable reporting center for LGBTQ+ hate crimes, focusing on the acceptance and protection of sexual and gender diversity, and building a constitutional majority to ban discrimination based on "sexual identity."
- In addition to their efforts to combat queerphobia, the Greens are planning to engage with other democratic factions of the Bundestag and encourage businesses to withstand political pressure, maintaining their support for CSD sponsorship, a crucial part of the general-news and politics landscape.
