    She gives AfD voters a shield to do bigoted things, because well their lead is a lesbian so how can they be bigoted? /s

    It also improves the optics of the party and makes it look “normal” so people who aren’t that far right doesn’t feel they are doing something bad for supporting AfD.

      Ah right… the old “I have a black/gay friend, I can’t be racist/homophobic” trick… As I said, their voters are not known for being the sharpest tools in the shed.
