LGBT rights, Poland, please boost
(Reposted from Birdside, thread)
Today, the Polish parliament will read a proposed law that makes it illegal to "promote homosexuality", including - I am not exaggerating - pretty much ANY positive talk of LGBT+ people and their rights in public settings.
And foreign media seem almost entirely silent on this.
The law was drafted a while ago, but didn't get into the Parliament for procedural reasons.
It EXPLICITLY bans e.g.:
LGBT rights, Poland, please boost
* talking about LGBT ppl/issues in schools;
* Pride marches and any other LGBT-related public events;
* public endorsement of same-sex marriage or rights;
You read that right. If you say "I think gay people should get to be married" in a public setting, the new law states that you'd be committing a crime.
I know not everyone is equally passionate about LGBT activism, but this is actual insanity.
