Queer people in Saxony face increasing hate crimes. The state's Social Affairs Ministry has reported this.

The figures are deeply concerning. Three quarters of anti-queer crimes have right-wing motives. This means perpetrators act from far-right extremist ideologies.

Hate crimes target people from specific groups. Anti-queer crimes affect gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender victims. Perpetrators choose victims because they are queer.

These crimes have risen recently in Saxony. This is a serious development. Queer people feel less safe in public spaces and daily life.

Experts are worried about this trend. Right-wing extremist groups are becoming more active in Saxony. They increasingly target vulnerable groups, including the queer community.

Organisations supporting queer people demand stronger political action. They want better protection for victims. They also want more education in schools and communities.

Saxony's police have promised to take this seriously. Officers will receive more training on hate crimes. They will also strengthen cooperation with queer organisations.

Queer people in Saxony call for solidarity and support. They want society to take a clear stance against violence and discrimination. Everyone has the right to live safely regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.

Rising hate crimes in Saxony fit a broader pattern across Germany. Anti-queer sentiment is increasing in other regions too. Politicians and civil society seek solutions to stop this dangerous trend.
