#journorequest @ILGAEurope (thread):

There are documented cases from Germany that in the 80ies and 90ies custody rights were withdrawn from lesbian mums because of their sexuality – especially in divorce proceedings.

From summer on a scientific research project in Germany will for the first time in history examine these cases. As an LGBT*-journalist @BuzzFeedNewsDE I would like to cover this topic from the journalistic side.

Is this a national or international matter, what was its scope and how did it restrict the lives of lesbian women, their children and partner?

I am looking for people who are willing to talk to me about whether they have experienced this case of injustice themselves or remember someone who did. You can also stay anonymous or on background. Contact me at: [e-mail]
