This article is expressly NOT about the social, ethical or criminal law debates surrounding Section 218 of the German Criminal Code (StGB). These debates have been taking place for many decades, sometimes more heatedly, sometimes less so, and this is unlikely to change.

Presumably because many believe that this is the only way to achieve a particular political goal.
