There was an equality parade yesterday in Bialystok, and of course, because it's Poland, it was invaded by hordes of uncivilized, barbaric animals which call themselves "True Patriots" :cry: Highlists include : A man using his own infant son as a shield from the police, four chavs assaulting and beating a crying girl, and six od them attacking and robbing a teenager.

The first official foreign visit of the new Slovak president (if not counting the V4 nations, she visited immediately after her election) was today to France :d

 

First thing she did after landing in Paris and the official dinner meeting with Macron was attending the Bataclan in which the terrorist attack on 2015 killed 90 people.

Promoting LGBT ideology is risky business in Poland :lol: We're not as liberal as the Netherlands or Sweden. It's time some people really acknowedge that. You can promote LGBT in Warsaw but the whole country? Ain't gonna happen. Watch Law & Justice crush these liberals in the October elections again :evil:

The current international political swing is in their favor. I’d be surprised if Polish populists and conservatives didn’t take more power. Especially since Poland is a hub of the international far-right. It would be huge if any center, liberal, social democratic, green, or socialist parties won.

Law & Justice formed the government with the far-right (Polish Families League) back in 2005. Now the leader of that party supports the liberals :lol:  The true far-right has been neutralized over the past 10 years and means nothing other than being supported by various hooligan groups associated with soccer clubs. Bialystok is a city with a top soccer club and I wouldn't be surprised if several of those attackers were football hooligans in disguise. They don't care about politics but rather clashes with other groups and the LGBT comunity is a very suitable group to attack. Moreover it's on the north east part of the country which has strong Home Army & anti-communist traditions. They fit the Law & Justice voters' profile. The only bigger support for Law & Justice is in the south-east (Western Galicia) where Ukrainian nationals murdered thousands of Poles during WWII (even more in Eastern Galicia currently within Ukraine borders). Politics in Poland has strong connections to the past communism and pre-WWII days and this won't be dismissed over some LGBT ideology that quickly if ever.

@Monzanator I don’t understand what the LGBTQ+ community has to do with anything. They are just people trying to live their lives. Yes, they’re passionate about it, but it’s because people receive them so poorly.

It's like selling an Eagles jersey in Cowboys stadium. You're gonna get whacked just by being there. Law & Justice doesn't care much about political corectness & the LGBT community ain't their voters whatsoever. And no, staging a public protest is not "living their lives". According to the conservative politicians over here it's a provocation, period. Moreover some liberal politicians have asked for more protests so the people who get beat up even more and than be used as LGBT martyrs of sorts :lol:

    • Someone please tell me every single athlete who didn't qualify for the big air final has at least one more event to go? The chance of athletes' Olympics being done before the opening ceremony would be utterly ridiculous...
    • Don't know what they were saying to each other, but one thing on time management is that there is never any debate in : they just instantly agree with what the other is planning to do.
