Germany Misses Anti-LGBTQ+ Hate Crime Report as Offenses Hit Record High

Germany's Interior Ministry missed an autumn 2025 deadline to report on measures against anti-LGBTQ+ hate crime, per advocacy group LSVD. The report stemmed from a Bundestag mandate requiring concrete enforcement steps. Meanwhile, BKA federal police statistics released June 9, 2026 show a record high in such offenses — leaving no confirmation that agreed measures were ever carried out.
