When Bible verses end up in court

Birgit Kelle has been working as a journalist, presenter, and ghostwriter for various media outlets in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland for over 25 years and develops media concepts and campaigns for non-profit organizations. She is an expert on women's and family policy, gender criticism, feminism, bioethics, and civil rights, and is the author of numerous bestsellers. Kelle was born in Transylvania, Romania, in 1975 and moved to Germany with her family in 1984 as a child, escaping real-life communism, which is why the defense of freedom is particularly close to her heart. She is the mother of four children and has a chronic tendency to speak her mind freely and, much to the chagrin of particularly sensitive groups of the population, to write it down.
