  "account": "Bundesjustizministerin Stefanie Hubig supports amending the Grundgesetz in response to a terrorist attack near Christopher Street Day (CSD) in Berlin. She wants to add a clause to Article 3 Paragraph 3 of the Grundgesetz to ban discrimination based on sexual identity. The existing article already prohibits unequal treatment of people due to various factors like origin, language, or political views. Hubig emphasized that it is logical to extend this protection to sexual identity in the constitution. She noted that discussions are ongoing within the government on this matter. While the Union party has reservations, there are encouraging signals from regional government leaders. Hubig also highlighted Chancellor's personal appeal to the queer community after the CSD attack, reaffirming that the state will protect them. This amendment would give substance to that promise.",
