@vfrmedia I grew up in the very christian south of DE - I'm not sure if germany could be called "more advanced" at all though!
I grew up in the late 80s/early 90ies, and the aids crisis hit germany as well. that was when southern german politicians even talked about putting hiv-positive people into camps, causing many to flee the south. bavaria closed its borders to hiv positive "ausländer" back then. it was awful.
