Nicole Höchst (born 10 February 1970) is a German politician for theAlternative for Germany (AfD) and since 2017 member of theBundestag. Her positions are described by various interest groups ashomophobic and hostile, which Höchst disputes.
Höchst was born in 1970 in theWest German town ofHomburg (Saar) and became a teacher.[1]
Höchst entered the AfD in 2015 and became after the2017 German federal election a member of the Bundestag.[1] She is a member of the Committee for Education, Research and Technology Assessment and the Committee on Family, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth. She criticized the concept of athird gender, partially in response to theFederal Constitutional Court's ruling that a third gender option was constitutionally necessary.[2] (See also:Third gender law (Germany)). Her daughter is a member of the youth city council inSpeyer. In late 2018, her daughter participated in a poetry competition, in which she read a poem that was widely deemed as racist, in which she criticizedpolitical correctness, so-calledcivil courage and massimmigration. She was disqualified and Speyer's mayor Monika Kabs later accused her of using racist comments to further her mother's political campaigns.[3][4]
