Dynamo Dresden football fans in Germany protested over fellow Bundesliga club Bayer Leverkusen being fined by the German Football Association for their fans displaying a banner which said ‘there are only two genders’.

Leverkusen were indicted by the DFB for “discriminatory, unsportsmanlike behavior on the part of its supporters” against the LGBT community last November and hit with a €18,000 fine after their supporters unfurled a banner which said, “There are many styles of music but only two genders.”

A single judge also insisted that €6,000 of the money go towards “preventative measures against discrimination.”

The club accepted the fine, but fans of Dynamo Dresden stood in solidarity with the rival club.

German football supporters of Dynamo Dresden stood in solidarity with Bayer Leverkusen on Sunday after the Bundesliga club was fined €18,000 by the German Football Association (DFB) for fans displaying a banner against left-wing gender ideology.

During a game yesterday, their fans displayed a banner which said, “There is only one ridiculous DFB and two genders.”

There’s a clear double standard at play which dictates that only banners which support left-wing ideology are permitted.

Back in 2015, when Germany decided to allow over a million migrants to enter the country in a move that proved disastrous for the country, football fans of numerous different clubs displayed banners which said “Refugees Welcome.”

Julian Reichelt, the former editor of Germany’s largest tabloid Bild, slammed the judgment against Bayer Leverkusen and asserted that the banner “simply states the basic biological fact of our existence.”

“The spirit of our institutions is being eaten away by an ideological virus,” he added.
