Queer Association Criticizes State Failure in Ensuring Safety
The federal board member Lehmann has reported a nearly tenfold increase in anti-queer hate crimes in recent years, highlighting insufficient political action.
In an interview with Deutsche Presse-Agentur, Lehmann emphasized that the safety and sense of freedom for millions are at risk due to the escalating violence. The association is advocating for an amendment to Article 3 of the German Constitution to provide explicit protection against discrimination for queer individuals. Lehmann noted that queer people remain the only group persecuted during the Nazi regime that lacks explicit constitutional protection, underscoring the need for legal safeguards to secure hard-won rights.
