The German cabinet has decided to compensate gay soldiers. The country’s gay soldiers have been discriminated against and promised compensation. Many international media have described this measure of the country as a historic decision.
But homosexuals and their rights have been recognized in the country since the 1980s. Gays also had the right to a place in the country’s military. But in reality its correct application has been very rare. There are reports that homosexuals suffer discrimination. This time, the German cabinet stressed the importance of protecting gay rights as well as compensation. It is believed that around a thousand people will obtain this right. It is known that each of them will receive compensation of three to three thousand five hundred euros.
A recently published report found that homosexuals in the German military admit to harassment and are discriminated against. There have also been reports of not having been promoted and having been fired. Based on these issues, the German government has decided to compensate victims of discrimination.
Before, Germany had a law that punished homosexuals. In 1989, the punishment provision was lifted. Then in 2016, homosexuals also got the right to marry each other. Source: Deutsche Welle.
