Gay and lesbian travellers in Germany


Gay and lesbian travellers in Germany

In some areas of Berlin and eastern Germany 'gay-bashing' is popular with Neonazis or other gangs, so use common sense and be geared to the behavior of the locals around you: if they display homosexuality, it is safe for you; otherwise, if not better avoid it. In small towns and in the countryside, display of homosexuality is almost unknown while it may be commonplace in some areas of Berlin and other big cities. The attitude towards gays and lesbians is rather tolerant. While many, especially the elderly, Germans inwardly still don't approve homosexuals or bisexuals, they usually suppress open utterances of homophobia. Therefore, in most cases, display of homosexuality (holding hands or kissing) will at most provoke stares or sometimes comments by children or elderly people but is not very likely to result in physical danger.
