Generally, I've always hyped up this suggestion for Americans in Germany....dress appropriately and not to get attention to your nationality. I've probably said this for well over 30 years. Don't go out to say 'I'm-a-tourist.
In this remark for Jews and gays? It's going to draw a fair amount of criticism. But things are no longer like they were in the 1990s.
This being a political lightning strike for the 2025 fed-election? It'll be discussed but I can't imagine it being a top twenty-problem (at least not yet). The economy is still at the top of talking items.
The comical side of this 'problem'? Well....on the pro-Palestinian side of events for the past year....a fair number of the pro-people....were German gays....giving their support to the Arab position. It's been that way in France, Netherlands, the UK, and the US. Each time that the news people featured this....I kept thinking...sooner or later....the gay crowd will end up as a target.
Just looking inconspicuous? Nothing flashly.....no bright colors.....no leather jacket....nothing expensive....just look like an average low-income German (you don't have to wear jogging pants, or a Scorpions t-shirt).
Also, in 90-percent of German towns (everything that is NOT metro-urban cities).....you are 100-percent safe. That's the funny side of this story....the 'dorf-people' aren't participating in the threat.
