the world is becoming less safe for people.

The world is because the internet is controlled by people that want to manipulate global perspectives and anti-LGBTQ+ ideals are one of the ways they make people fight each other instead of them. People always blame things like influencers but you have to remember that the platforms they are on have been incentivising hate for over a decade.

Yes! Thank you! I've been shouting this for over a decade.
And I keep saying that Gamergate should've been the moment to take notice of this. Even yesterday I included this in another comment. That was the gate that opened this flood. And that should've been the moment to shut down algorithmic incentive for engagement. People shrugged and moved on. Then came Snowden trying to warn everyone of the consolidation of power. People shrugged and moved on. Then it came the Cambridge Analytica Scandal. People shrugged and moved on.
There's that phrase... "we always have the world we deserve". I used to rebel against this statement. But I find myself agreeing with it more and more over time. I still don't like it as a blank statement though. Too many don't deserve the outcomes of it.

This kinda reminds me of the quote
The reasonable person adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable person.
We've all have been reasonable for too long and the fascist have changed the world to adapt to them.

It is hard to put something like equality in one single index, but it may give you a hint, at least when gaps are large.
The LGBT+ legal equality index (2025) captures to which extent LGBT+ people have the same rights as straight and cisgender people. It combines 15individual policies, such as the legality of same-sex relationships, marriage, and gender marker changes. It ranges from 0 to100 (most equal).
As yo can see on the lined map, the EU, including Germany, and together with countries like Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Taiwan, South Africa, Nepal, and several countries in Latin America rank top.

Since the extremist designation, Russian authorities have opened at least 12 criminal cases on charges related to LGBTQ+ activities, according to the independent rights watchdog OVD-Info. These charges are punishable by up to 12 years in prison.
One of the most tragic cases in the wave of prosecutions for “LGBT extremism” is that of 48-year-old Andrei Kotov, whose death in a pre-trial detention center raised serious concerns about the pressure faced by those accused under the anti-LGBTQ+ laws.
Kotov was arrested in Moscow in late December 2024 on charges of creating an extremist organization related to his alleged organization of “gay tours.” Authorities added him to the federal terrorists and extremists registry, allowing authorities to freeze his bank accounts without a court order.
Before his death, Kotov said he had been beaten and tortured with an electric shocker in detention.

How is that related to Germany?

Why have conservatives tolerated it before? Could it be that it was a carrot to make lgbtq people in other countries organise protests to spread western influence? Is there any country left that is looking at the carrot?
-
The heritage foundation and elevangelists from america are influencing other countries to be anti-queer
-
That's the starting point. Then the question is why are they successful? Have conservatives ever believed in tolerance? If so, how could they all be swayed without anybody calling fire. If not, what made them pretend to be tolerant?
I think they pretended, for strategic reasons. The fronts are settled now and the conservatives have stopped pretending.

-
Because influencing the world so a minority gets less shit is such a terrible thing/
-
One would think so, sarcasticly, but conservatives were or pretended to be much more tolerant. Why has that changed? Germany had a gay foreign minister.
And it's not just conservatives because the SPD could have ended the coalition over this shift.

Oh, yeah, just have a look at all the neonazi rallies disrupting CSDs, they're full of "foreigners".
Not to forget "foreigner" Julia Klöckner forbade to raise the rainbow flag during Berlin CSD and forbade Bundestag's Regenbogennetzwerk to participate at Pride Parade.Take your dumb ass racism and fuck off.

Not sure why you’re downvoted so much. I’m a gay man from the Netherlands. And i’ve been feeling exactly like this for quite some time now.
