LGBTQ+: Protecting queer people - Hubig wants to change the Basic Law
Article 3 of the Basic Law prohibits discrimination against people for a variety of reasons. The Minister of Justice wants to expand the standard.
German Justice Minister Stefanie Hubig is calling for a change to the country's constitution to ban discrimination based on sexual identity. The proposal comes in response to a terrorist attack on the sidelines of the Christopher Street Day (CSD) in Berlin on July 25, in which a woman was killed and 31 people injured. Hubig wants to add to Article 3, Paragraph 3 of the Basic Law, which already prohibits discrimination based on characteristics such as ethnicity, language, and religion.
She is in talks with the Interior Minister, Alexander Dobrindt, about possible changes to the law, including improving information exchange between security agencies and the justice system.
