How do you speak politely to 60 different genders?
From time to time, German regional politics has moments of entertainment. A member of the parliament of the state of Brandenburg (in the country’s northeast) recently stated his party’s position on a gender diversity proposal.
Alternative for Germany (AfD) politician Steffen Königer was speaking to a bill introduced by the Green Party to promote “acceptance of gender and sexual diversity, self-determination, and against homo- and trans-phobia” in the city of Brandenburg. It would also “give equal rights and societal equality for LGBTTQQ [lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, trans, two-spirit, queer, questioning] people in Brandenburg.”
He spoke for a mere two minutes, but left Parliament in stitches. How often does that happen in Prussia? A must-see.
