I wish it was Nazi Germany all over again.
But it’s not.
Prominent German LGBTQ+ rights activist Anastasia Biefang has expressed concerns about an increase in homophobic and anti-transgender violence and abuse in the country, comparing it to rhetoric used by the Nazis.
Biefang, who made headlines as the first trans person to serve as a commander in the German military, spoke this weekend as hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets of Berlin to celebrate Christopher Street Day and demand LGBTQ+ equality.
“I hear narratives that I thought we had overcome since 1945,” said Biefang, 49, a former battalion leader who still serves in a leading capacity in the army’s cyber and information department.

The number of hate crimes targeting the lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans community is rising in Germany, with officially registered cases increasing by 15.5% last year to reach 1,005, according to Interior Ministry data.
Biefang said that while there had been positive achievements in recent years, there was a “feeling of exclusion, stigmatisation, division” that was sowing anti-LGBTQ+ sentiment.
“That’s a great shame. It’s not only a shame, it’s also worrying,” she told Reuters in an interview on Saturday, adding that “transphobic, queerphobic, homophobic violence is also increasing significantly” in Berlin.
There is no “violence.”
Arguably, with what these faggots are doing to children… well.
Anyway, there is no violence.
They equate “violence” with “abuse,” and by “abuse,” they mean “people disagreeing with them.”
There are no more Nazis.
The worst these faggots are going to get is complained about in a light manner.
