thank you for being ‘loud’ about the state of politics in your country. I didn’t know much about polish government and the like, but your reblogs made me start becoming more educated and interested in being up to date with current events there. tumblr is so heavily focused on, like, 3 countries, and seeing other news is necessary. keep spreading awareness! :)
Thank you so much for your support and concern.
Here in Poland wehave an actual problem with homophobia and transphobia. Last year on one of our pride parades in the Białystok people in parade were attacked by bystanders (like kicks, throwing bottles and other things in general it ws horrible) and this year we have a presidential election and our actual president is catholic, right-wing and homophobic. And, also has a big chance to win election again.
After his words about LGBT, ideology and everything, he asked other president candidate (the only openly gay candidate) and his mother who reacted strongly on his words to palace, but they declined until Duda apologize for his words, but he didn’t and don’t want to say sorry after his hurting words.
Most of our media are not really helping, because most of popular and public media are right-wing and, in general, we have strong catholic propaganda in Poland.
Even Warsaw Rise’s veterans criticed his words and demand change, but he literally don’t care at all LOL. Like. Even war veterans (and their families) who fought for polish independency during occupation told you you are shit and you are like “haha and what I can do what I want bye”.
In our country there is few millions of LGBT people, how even he could be such a dick I can’t understand. We had suicides commited by kids only becuase they faced homo- and transphobia and they did nothing, only ignored the problem, because we “need pdychological help and not equal rights” whatever this even means. And psychological help is so expensive that a lot of normal people couldn’t afford regular therapy anyway.
We can’t marry each other, there are no civil partnerships even, there would be illegal to talk about LGBT in schools, we can’t even get a single sorry after calling us not humans but an idology.
