While we will have discussions on political issues dealing with hate and bigotry AGAINST the LGBTQ+ community, please keep your comments respectful of ail parties.

Be better than how your enemies treat you.

Respect the trans community

Respect the people who belong here. If you're confused what that means, here's a minor primer:

No asking to date trans people or otherwise meet up with them. No treating being transgender as a mental illness or as being lesser in any way. No arguing with trans people about their identity. No arguing with trans people about their vulnerabilities, including anything related to sports, laws, etc. This includes anything else that the mod team deems disrespectful.

Stay on topic!

Posts should be related to the defense, advocacy, and restoration of LGBTQ+ rights.

This Community is for news regarding, as well as the discussion of, anti LGBTQ+ laws, hate crimes, and propaganda.

Bunnies are above the law

This isn't a rule but it shows you're paying attention to the rules. good for you!

It claims its immigration policies are meant to maintain Western human rights and then it opposes LGBTQ+ rights.

I don't get it.

"Western civilization" is a dogwhistle, and doesn't actually represent the West, since that would mean supporting liberalism. AfD is an illiberal movement. The Nazis claimed to be socialists, too - reactionaries lie, what's new?

EDIT:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_for_German

In January 2022, after a lost power struggle, party leader Jörg Meuthen resigned his party chairmanship with immediate effect and left the AfD, as he claimed he came to acknowledge that the party had developed very far to the right with totalitarian traits and in large parts was no longer based on the liberal democratic basic order.[44][45] Former party chairman and co-founder of the AfD, Lucke, had left the party in 2015 with the same remark.

Some of the citations are in German, so if you don't read German you might have to use Google Translate or another tool to confirm these things for yourself. Just wanted to provide some evidence for the claim that AfD is illiberal, since they claim to be an economically liberal, conservative movement.
