reception

In September 2007, the Christian conservative publicist threw Gabriele Kuby in an article in the conservative weekly newspaper Junge Freiheit appeared, the German federal government and some provincial governments the right to with information brochures as these children from the earliest age sexualisieren and heterosexuality against lesbian , gay to repeal bisexual and transsexual lifestyles as the norm.

The sex educator Uwe Sielert , who also belongs to the Institute for Sex Education , issued a public statement in which he defended the counselor. Sielert added: “Those who are ultimately also to be discredited with the fundamentalist framing of the brochure are not just 'the 68ers' but far beyond them, the current government, the churches, even the decision-making bodies of the European Union, which ultimately promote gender equality Orientations and gender mainstreaming have decided. "

Investigations into a complaint in 2007 for a public request for the sexual abuse of children at the Cologne Public Prosecutor's Office were discontinued due to a lack of suspicion and due to the expired deadlines in press law. Nevertheless, at the instigation of Ursula von der Leyen , who classified some formulations as “ambiguous and ambiguous”, the BzgA removed the brochure at the end of July 2007 .

The sociologist and men's rights activist Gerhard Amendt commented on the stop with the words: “For years, the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs has been selling educational guides that clearly call for child abuse. It is a scandal that they have only now been crushed. ”In contrast, Sielert was appalled by the withdrawal of the brochure, because quotations had been“ taken out of context ”and BzgA and the author had been slandered as a result.

The debate was echoed in the leading press, for example in the world , the mirror and the taz .

In Switzerland, Child Protection Switzerland withdrew the 2008 brochure after a campaign by the tabloid newspaper “ 20 Minuten ” and apologized for the fact that “the various types of reading of the guide - such as those by criminal lawyers, perpetrators or even sexually abused persons - are not differentiated enough checked ”.
