    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 and women’s 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.

      Edit: forgot women’s rights
