"Merkel's anti-gay comments came when she was asked about marriage equality by a famous German Youtube star. She acted like she was against discrimination, but with this statement she made her views clear: loving gay and lesbian couples are second-class citizens in Germany.
Merkel and her Christian Democratic party have been fighting equality for years. They’ve voted down every attempt to pass same-sex marriage, and just last month, party members sent an open letter saying marriage equality would be the end of marriage as an institution.
But public pressure for equality is building at a huge scale. The majority of Germans support full marriage equality. Meanwhile, major world powers like the US and the UK and almost all of Western Europe have passed equality.
If thousands of us join together, we could create the biggest petition Merkel has ever received on this issue. We can make Merkel realize her whole country is in favor of equality – it could be enough to make her change her mind. Sign and share now to tell Angela it’s time: go.allout.org/en/a/merkel-marriage" ~ AllOut organisation.
