You don’t hear that from representatives of his age group every day: Roland Kaiser speaks for gender. In addition to his explanations, he also made it clear that he positions himself against the AfD.
“There is not just a man and woman”
The pop singer recently shared a plea for the upcoming Bundestag election. Not only did he stand there – not surprisingly – against the AfD, he even went one step further: “There is not only men and women,” he said in an interview with the “Süddeutsche Zeitung”. He had already made similar statements in 2022. “People are obviously more complex and have correspondingly complex feelings and needs – and we have to allow them. Also linguistic. “
Roland Kaiser preferred double name
The 72-year-old has adapted his language use: “I can and does not want to speak as before.” He now gives a double name, so I always speak of “artists” and addresses his fans in postings as “friends”. Roland Kaiser classifies: “It takes a little longer, but I find it more beautiful. And I still stay within the tolerance frame, which is important here. ”However, he also emphasized respectful handling of people who do not do it, or unlike him with glottis strike, ie the spoken“ gender star ”. The most important thing is the musician’s view of respect and respect for each other.
Against the loud minority
“I was always convinced that the freedom of a person only ends where the freedom of another begins,” the musician explained. “Why should it actually bother me if someone identifies themselves as this or that? I don’t care. Every Jeck is different. End of the report. ”Uncovered, but clearly Roland Kaiser found:“ I had the feeling that the picture that has shaped a loud minority had to be corrected. In favor of the silent majority. “
The calm statement also stands out in politically excited times-only recently US President Donald Trump, as one of his first official acts, finally issued a decree that legally defines two genders. CDU Chancellor candidate Friedrich Merz rated this to be understandable in the “Chancellor Duel” in ARD and ZDF on February 9th. It is striking that not only Roland Kaiser, but more and more celebrities like private individuals are currently positioning themselves politically and even making direct election recommendations.
