/#Berlin folx, a Question:

I'm thinking of staying at Jugendgaestehaus Hauptbahnhof, but it's run by the church. They're house rules forbids sexuality based discrimination.

Yet I am cautious. Is there any record/history of this hostel turning away same sex couples? Or not giving them a double bed/etc?

pls boost

@ebel which church? The protestant church here is pretty tolerant. Maybe just send them an email and ask, I guess that'd be the only way to know for sure.

@ebel I looked it up and they're run by the protestant church. I would be *extremely* surprised if you had any problems there (the protestant church in Berlin has allowed same-sex marriage for quite some time now and is mostly pretty chill). If you're still worried though, my advise about emailing still holds :)

@masu @ebel it is run by the protestants (mentioned in a tiny box in top left hand corner).

What can confuse English speakers is this is usually translated as "Evangelical" - theologically correct as not all are Lutheran (some from other Reformed branches) but in English this is associated with the more conservative evangelicals! 1/2

@vfrmedia @masu yeah I live in Germany and learning German. I know about the "Evangelisch" meaning. I'm just being cautious! 🙂

@ebel @masu

TBH I think the worst that could happen is a conservative type might register the same sex couple as "disabled person plus carer" (but *not* otherwise treat them any different as that could well be illegal in Germany, I also suspect a religious conservative wouldn't volunteer there anyway!)

That said if I had the choice, free time and money I'd pick one of the other two guesthouses as they sound like a bit more fun!

@vfrmedia @ebel As I said in my comment before, the protestant church in Berlin marries same-sex couples in their churches... I wouldn't worry too much about it. If they ask, you can always say you're just friends staying in one room :)
