Yes these rights rights were lost, but this paints the GDR in a positive light regarding regarding civil rights

I’m not arguing for the BRD and how not fucked LGBTQ and women's rights were. I’m arguing against a picture that the GDR had better rights in general when in fact most people who didn’t strictly follow the party line were heavily suppressed and observed.

Edit: forgot women's rights
