News from Poland
Wake up.
We are in danger!
Kaja Godek, the Polish anti-abortion activist who led to the abortion ban (successively) in Poland has now launched another attack on the LGBT+ community. Her "Stop LGBT" initiative has just made it into the parliament and... it is not colourful.
The initiative aims to stop "homosexual propaganda in public space".
This woman, who speaks openly about her disgust for non-hetero and non-cisgender people, is being considered by the government for some reason. Her hurtful words and actions are ignored and even accepted. If nobody does anything, nobody stands up to her, what kind of Poland can we expect?
The law under her bill would ban LGBT+ gatherings. It will ban sex education.
Kasprzak also said that the bill was drafted as "an expression of concern for Polish families and children, an expression of respect for the Polish Constitution, in particular article 18." He added: "The long-term goal of the LBGT lobby is to destroy marriage and family and any natural social order" and compared the LGBT+ community to communist and Nazi movements/ideologies.
The bill has little chance of passing - but it is nevertheless another attack on people's rights. If such initiatives are able to see the light of day and be considered in parliament then why should we feel safe?
