The repeatedly documented incidents throw a light on the continuing discrimination against lesbians, gays, bisexual, trans- and intersex people in Germany. A comprehensive examination, the LGBTI survey, shows the experiences of these groups and illustrates the problem of hate power and discrimination. In the study, over 16,000 people from Germany took part, which makes them the largest study on LSBTI experiences in the country. The results call for an urgent reflection and need for action in relation to social acceptance and protective measures for the affected groups of people.

Both incidents are part of an alarming tendency in society that, according to the Deutschland, need an increased attention and intervention. The study calls for specific measures to secure the well-being of the LSBTI community and ensure that nobody has to experience discrimination or violence due to their identity.
