Polish Court Rules 4 LGBT Free Zones Must Be Abolished

[RAMROD 116,995]

 

A top Polish appeals court ruled on Tuesday that so-called "LGBT-free zones" must be scrapped in four municipalities, a verdict welcomed by activists as a victory for human rights and democracy.

Numerous local authorities in Poland passed resolutions in 2019 declaring themselves free of "LGBT ideology", part of a conflict in the predominantly Catholic country between liberals and religious conservatives, who see the struggle for gay rights as a threat to traditional values.

"LGBT-free zones" seek to ban what local authorities see as the promotion of homosexuality and other minority sexual identities, especially in schools.

These moves set Poland on a collision course with the European Commission, which said the zones may violate EU law regarding non-discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation.

After a legal challenge from Poland's Human Rights Ombudsman, lower courts ruled that nine such resolutions must be scrapped.

That’s great that the court made that resolution but the fact that so many local authorities thought it was a great idea to declare themselves “LGBT free zones” means the cities themselves still will not be welcoming to us even if their courts won’t let them advertise their homophobia. Poland is def on my avoid list forever.

Well, the first step to getting people to accept others who are different is to expose them.

Homophobes will only learn by meeting real gays and this is a great step in that direction

That’s true, but I don’t want to put myself in danger.
