The German Greens politician Volker Beck has been working for decades for the legal equality of homosexuals. In relation to the persecution and killing of homosexuals in other countries he spoke out clearly against the encroachments of religions in the rights of others from (while the ban on the killing of another human being in a state of law needs no constraint "in the name of religion"):

In the German [[Circumcision Debate]] 2012, the Green member of the Bundestag Claudia Roth took a very clear stance against the protection of boys from genital mutilation:
{{Citation
|Title=The [[Cologne circumcision court judgment|judgment of the district court of Cologne on the ban on circumcision]] for boys is one-sided and unrealistic
|Text=Because it has an exclusionary effect on the long cultural and religious tradition of Jewish and Muslim life. The circumcision of boys involves a debate between the poles of religious freedom, the right to self-determination, cultural rites, medical indications and parental care. This debate can only be conducted with the religious communities and not against them by court order. If the question of circumcision, which is actually an irreversible intervention, were based solely on the will of the children, the entire system of parental care would have to be fundamentally reorganized. As a first step, consideration could be given to prescribing accompanying measures such as broad-based educational work or circumcisions to be performed only by physicians, in order to reduce possible negative consequences of circumcisions.

As early as 2006, she and her party colleagues tabled a motion in the German Bundestag that was intended to "protect girls and women from genital mutilation."<ref>{{REFdocument
