    Yes these rights rights were lost, but this paints the GDR in a positive light regarding regarding civil rights

    Because they were, especially compared to West Germany.

      I’m not arguing for the BRD and how not fucked LGBTQ rights were. I’m arguing against a picture that the GDR had better rights in general when in fact most people who didn’t strictly follow the party line were heavily suppressed and observed.
