Germany’s first burial area for lesbians will open on Sunday in Berlin. One of the founders told The Local that the leafy resting spot is for homosexual women to be buried as they lived—with those of the same sex.

“We are the first real generation of emancipated, feminist, open lesbians, and we need somewhere to be buried,” said Dr. Astrid Osterland from Safia, an association for older, mostly gay women.

Hitting back at criticism of the burial area in the Georgen-Parochial-Friedhof, Osterland explained that the project had “absolutely nothing against men”. They are welcome to have their urns here, but women will get first pick of the plots, the 69-year-old said, who has her own spot reserved. …

So, if we heteros decide we want a hetero only gravesite, that’ll be OK?

And we all know what the answer to that will be.

Guess we’ll have to wait until the post-CW-II period to work this out.

As for me, I used to be a bit more on your side, but given your inability to think about anything save for sex, I don’t give a smelly Obama what you gays think any more. SUFU, get a room, and go away.

Far way.

Something smells fishy here...

So what happens when the first transgendered male who perceives himself to be female demands that he be buried there?

He loses because female is higher than male on the PC hierarchy? Or he wins because transgendered is higher than plain homo? Or will the race, ethnicity or religion become the deciding factor? Would he win as a black Muslim?

I’m always amazed when someone has such interest in what becomes of their body after they die, but so little concern for their eternal soul.

this is no different than the United States where homosexuals have condos/apartment buildings established for only homosexuals.

Imagine the entirety of your whole life being summarized by the type of sex you engaged in while living.

Seriously, these people have issues.

So that’s their biggest worry at the time of death? Making sure it is clear what they did with their private parts when they were alive?

Is there nothing more to these people but an endless cry for attention?

"We are the first real generation of emancipated, feminist, open lesbians, and we need somewhere to be buried"

I suppose there is more than one way to interpret that.
