CDU is apparently afraid of Gays and doesn't even show up for a discussion

Where is the future of homosexual people in Lörrach in Baden Württemberg? To discuss this question, the club had Rainbow Stars, who supports the concerns of gays and lesbians in Lörrach, politicians invited to a panel discussion. This invitation was followed by representatives of almost all parties. But only almost, the CDU took no part in the event.

It would be the course of the conversation was to be particularly interesting to hear the views of the Christian Democrats. For Johnny Schuler, vice president of the Rainbow Stars, opened the discussion with a clear criticism of the policy of the CDU. "If gay couples want to have to verpartnern, which is much more expensive than a civil marriage of heterosexual couples. This is discrimination. And I think that comes from the state government, " thundered Schuler. The point should be raised during the two-hour discussion over again. With the representatives of the parties present, all were very agreed that this was discriminatory against gays and lesbians. Representatives from the Pirate Party of the Left, the SPD and the FDP, agreed that the aim is to change that.

Another topic that was of homosexuality in schools. And the politicians were united. Other realities, just like that of homosexual persons should be discussed as well in school. The issue would be put to be freed from taboos and normalized according to the tenor. "Why can not simple math problem at a time Peter and Hans together to buy a house and not Peter and Hilde, " said Jens Brandenburg state chairman of the Young Liberals, the youth organization of the FDP.

The SPD member of parliament for the constituency of Waldshut, Rita Schwarzelühr-Sutter suggested that the article 3 of the Basic Law - increased - it adjusts the equality before the law. It should be added that "no person shall be discriminated against because of his sexual identity, "demanded Schwarzelühr-Sutter. Successful in collecting Gerhard Schick, Mannheim parliamentary representative of the Greens. He said that there was a positive development towards more tolerance for homosexuals in the country. "But still we have to work every day on the fact that we create structures that ensure a secure life for homosexuals."

For gay people and people who care where their interests, it might be interesting to see whether there is among the elected representatives after the election, similar agreement.
