‘The European Parliament has finally taken a stand against rising state-backed homophobia in Poland, where more than 80 towns have declared themselves “LGBTQ-free zones” amid a heated culture war over gay rights.

MEPs voted by 463 votes to 107 Wednesday in favor of a resolution condemning discrimination against LGBTQ people in Poland, and explicitly calling on the Polish government to revoke discriminatory measures such as the “LGBTQ-free zones,” established by dozens of conservative local authorities that have symbolically declared themselves free from “LGBTQ ideology.”’

I really hope that doesnt happen, because that would ultimately only serve to escalate problems rather than ameliorate them. This is something that is unfortunately too close to Irans claim of having no homosexuals.

Yea, it is written in the Book of Cyril...

yeah... pushing people back into the closet is not the same as being "free" of them. You'd think of all people Poles would know this.

And Poles should know better more than anyone else the dangers of this because Poland was one of the hardest hit nations during WWII and the Holocaust, along with Russia.
They have Christian morality based laws (destroying a Bible isn't a protected right there), so I'm not surprised. You'd think they'd be very weary of hatred and oppression, but Christianity has given us many, many examples of it creating problems in regards to impairing and severing empathy towards others (such as parents who disown a homosexuality child because of their Christian beliefs).

They don't seem to realize these restrictions violate the same principles whose violation led to their own historical repression.

Well, we can look at America, where many Christians pretend the reason the separation of church and state exists is to persecute them and make it harder for them to freely practice, rather than being the very thing that allows them to freely practice without the repression, and that even the Baptists where very strong supporters of keeping state and church separated.
And, ultimately, believing that a dead person can return to life isn't logical or rational. So, perhaps that may also be a factor going in here that allows them to overlook this "wtf?" moment without the cognitive dissonance.
