German federal office tasked with safeguarding LGBT rights
The Federal Government Commissioner for the Acceptance of Sexual and Gender Diversity (known as Commissioner for LGBTIQ+ Equality for short and informally nicknamed the "Queer Commissioner") is an office in the federal Government of Germany that is tasked with promoting and defending LGBTIQ+ rights and fighting anti-LGBTIQ+ hate.
The office was created by the coalition government of Chancellor Olaf Scholz in 2021. The inaugural holder of the office is Sven Lehmann of the Alliance 90/The Greens, who concurrently holds the office of Parliamentary State Secretary in the Federal Ministry of Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth. In November 2022 the federal cabinet adopted a new strategy to promote LGBTIQ+ rights and combat anti-LGBTIQ+ hate.
