LSVD⁺ Board Member Andre Lehmann Demands Constitutional Changes After Berlin CSD Attack

Following the fatal attack on Berlin's Christopher Street Day (CSD) parade, Andre Lehmann, a board member of LSVD⁺ – Verband Queere Vielfalt, is calling for constitutional amendments to better protect queer communities. The attack left one woman dead—a mother celebrating with her daughter—while political discourse has focused on the perpetrator, Islamism, and security concepts rather than the victims. Lehmann, who was present at the event, expressed anger over the lack of attention to the victims and outlined demands in an interview with Der Freitag. He specifically called on Friedrich Merz and Karin Prien to take action, emphasizing the need to address constitutional protections. The interview took place days after the attack, with shock still deep within the queer community.
