Federal Justice Minister Hubig has announced plans to amend the constitution to strengthen protections for queer individuals. This initiative comes in direct response to the Islamist terrorist attack on the sidelines of Christopher Street Day in Berlin, which has sparked widespread discussion about the safety and rights of LGBTQ+ people.

Hubig aims to expand Article 3 of the constitution, which already prohibits discrimination for various reasons. Her goal is to include a ban on discrimination based on sexual identity in the norm to better protect queer individuals.

The Justice Minister views this amendment as a logical consequence of recent events and emphasizes the need to sharpen legal frameworks to effectively combat discrimination.
