Nicole Höchst (born 10 February 1970) is a German politician for the Alternative for Germany (AfD) and since 2017 member of the Bundestag. Her positions are described by various interest groups as homophobic and hostile, which Höchst disputes.
Höchst entered the AfD in 2015 and became after the 2017 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 a third gender, partially in response to the Federal 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 in Speyer. 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 criticized political correctness, so-called civil courage and mass immigration. 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]
