German Far-Right Increasingly Targets LGBTQ People

Politico Europe reports:

Extreme-right groups in Germany are increasingly targeting LGBTQ+ people as part of a systematic effort to gain popularity and win new recruits. Right-wing extremists have mobilized against Pride events scheduled for this summer, planning counter demonstrations that purport to celebrate traditional, heterosexual relationships. It’s a message, experts say, that is drawing a growing number of young Germans to the extreme right.

In the eastern German town of Bautzen, organizers of a local Pride parade set to take place in August are preparing for a large counter demonstration of right-wing extremists, many of them teenagers. “Man and woman. The true foundation of life,” reads an online post [see below] advertising one of the protests.

Germany’s far right is rebranding Pride month as Stolzmonat, with a focus on the traditional family and national pride. “Stolzmonat is an alternative that seeks to consciously counter the forced change … setting an example of traditional values, family ties and stability in uncertain times,” reads a statement on the website of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party.

Read the full article. There’s much more. Stolzmonat literally translates as “Pride Month.” The AfD is led by homocon Alice Weidel [photo], who opposes same-sex marriage despite raising children with her partner. Cologne Pride is taking place today and the video below is live.
