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 I will never understand Polish politics, or British for that matter. I hate when people talk about political correctness. There is no such thing. It’s called being a decent fucking human being the end. The end.

Sure, but there's a bit of a difference between living language or coming up with changes every single time it bothers someone (no, I'm not talking about situations where it bothers a lot of people). Plenty of things bother me, but please don't go and change words because of it.

But politics and decency have nothing to do with each other. Politics is greed for power. Everything else is bullshit. LGBT community in Poland is just a tool in a political power struggle. There is no human rights crap in Poland like in the US. Poland is one of the least racially & religiously diverse countries in the whole Europe. The Jews that heavily occupied the communist Stalin regime were ousted in 1968 by the "new wave" of communists and that was it. The Ukrainian & Belarussian minority stayed behind the USSR borders following Yalta conference decisions. The Germans that lived in Pomerania & Schlessien were mostly send back behind the Oder River after WWII ended. Yeah, it's way too complicated for any American whose only choice was GOP or Democrats for the last 150 years or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
