the german far right leader (female) is married to an ~~indian~~ sri lankan woman and when asked about how that relates to her plans of deporting brown people she said her wife 'does not count because she was adopted by a white family in switzerland'

i mean, they also run a populist platform aimed at poor people with a libertarian program to wipe out social assistance though, so why am i even suprised by the hypocrisy?

~~Indian~~ Sri Lankan . Also, she is openly pride.

fair enough, corrected!

also, who is openly pride, alice or her wife? apparently they also have some kids and are in a civil partnership, but she does oppose same sex marriage (because 'tradition' of course?). i always have that mental gymnastics meme in my head when i read about her or hear her speak... x)
