EU Warns Poland On Gays
http://www.365gay.com/newscon05/10/102605poland.htm

The European Union has issued a stern warning to Poland's new president not to try to limit the rights of gays and lesbians.

Polish voters last weekend elected Warsaw mayor Lech Kaczynski to be the country's new president. (story) Last month Kaczynski's ultra conservative Law and Justice Party, controlled by his twin brother, won control of Parliament.

The European Commission said it is concerned about Kaczynski's history of homophobia and said that if he continues to oppose gay rights Poland risks losing its voting rights in the EU.


whoo hoo!

2. Good! That's exactly what should happen if they try to repress gays,
and there is DEFINITELY that undercurrent among the "mainstream" Polish. :mad:

3. Their record on Gays is vile
maybe it is time for another dismemberment of Poland. As far as I am concerned they do not deserve nationhood status.
