Hi kneehighs,

here my comment on the legislation in Germany: Wearing high heels as guy is simply a fundamental right.

Article 2, §1 of our constitution (Grundgesetz) says clearly "Jeder hat hat das Recht auf die freie Entfaltung seiner Persoenlichkeit, soweit er nicht nicht die Rechte anderer verletzt oder gegen die verfassungsmaessige Ordnung oder das Sittengesetz verstoesst". The first articles of our constitution are the most important. It's No. 2

I'll try a translation: "Everybody has the right of a free unfolding of his personality, as long as he doesn't hurt the rights of others or as long as he doesn't violate the constitutional order or the common moral laws"

The last three words are the crucial point! Our constititution was written down at a time (only a few years after the nazi terror regime) when nobody was thinking at high heels wearing guys. May be that the imagination of abnormal behaviour - induced by the nazis- was still in their heads :o The fathers of our constitution had no imagination of the future developments:

Like the Hippie movement of the 70ies or today private TV stations with midnight pornos or the complete cancelling of §175 StGB in 1994 (german penal code concerning homosexuality - the first reforms of the year 1973 under chancellor Willy Brandt suspended this paragraph almost). If anyone should have the crude idea to accuse me because of violation of moral laws the whole nation would laugh about him! Naturally I would win every trial at the German Constititutional Court (Bundesverfassungsgericht). My country is no "banana republic" or ruled by ayatollahs :lol:

nice greetings
