- Status is not correct "LGBT Discrimination is illegal since May 23, 1949 when the basic law for Basic Law for the Federal Republic of Germany was made. It's first atricle is:
(1) Human dignity shall be inviolable. To respect and protect it shall be the duty of all state authority.
(2) The German people therefore acknowledge inviolable and inalienable human rights as the basis of every community, of peace and of justice in the world.
(3) The following basic rights shall bind the legislature, the executive and the judiciary as directly applicable law."
