Just go to Europe for a while and the people harassing you for being LGBT on public transport, on the street, etc. will be young Muslims, not Neo-Nazis.

They allow 3rd class civil unions, discriminatory in both name and rights. The German civil union (Lebenspartnerschaftsgesetz) essentially creates responsibilities, but still treats the partners when it comes to the "rights" of marriage. For tax purposes, adoption, compensation law, and salary purposes, German civil partners are treated as "single". The Roman Catholic Churches is also permitted to fire anyone for being gay or entering a civil union and not help accountable via anti-discrimination laws. It seems gay and lesbians are the one group persecuted by the Nazis that Germany still treats in a discriminatory way. Kind of disgusting really.

I worked for a German company for almost ten years and know that Germans nowadays are in the majority very tolerant people. My former company was one of the first in the USA to offer life partner benefits (Lebenspartner) . Berlin is a great city and these neo-nazi groups are a small minority (thank god). The German Govt will have to keep a keen eye on them as nazi anything in Germany now is thankfully outlawed. Tschuss Liebchen! This is really sad, especially for the second time.
