The Polish conservative newspaper, Gazeta Polska, has said it will distribute "LGBT-free zone" stickers with its next issue.
The stickers show a black cross superimposed on a rainbow flag.
The weekly publication - which has a circulation of around 110,000 - openly supports the conservative governing Law and Justice party (PiS).
The move was criticised by the US ambassador to Poland, who said the stickers promoted hatred.
The newspaper's editor said his own views and those of the ambassador should both be respected.
A preview of the sticker was posted on Gazeta Polska's Twitter feed on Wednesday and it is due to be included in next week's edition.
US ambassador to Poland Georgette Mosbacher expressed concern.
"I am disappointed and concerned that some groups use stickers to promote hatred and intolerance. We respect freedom of speech, but we must stand together on the side of values such as diversity and tolerance," Ms Mosbacher tweeted.

Not everything is worth tolerating. Chesterton said “Tolerance is the virtue of the man that lacks conviction.”
I couldn’t have said it better! we
I wonder how can I get some?
If they allowed those here then there’d be a number of bakers and florists who wouldn’t be facing big legal bills.
Tolerance is the virtue of the man that lacks conviction.”
ditto
I’m beyond sick of all this weirdo stuff but to me there’s got to be another way to protest instead of the sticker. It’s a little remaniscint of the Jewish star that they issued in NAZI Germany. I wouldn’t give these fruitcake any ammunition.
Can we get a better man to represent our country in Poland?
I’m sure there are more important matters between our two countries than the issue of mainstreaming what used to be considered improper conduct, and contradicting the traditional religious beliefs of a foreign country.

Has the ambassador ever seen the photos from US homofascist marches where Christianity is openly mocked and Jews are banned from showing their Star of David in imagery if they want to participate in the homofascist pride marches???
Does the US ambassador to Somalia or Saudi Arabia or Libya ever make headlines promoting gay sex in their countries?
Georgette Mosbacher is a woman.
Recall that ambassador.
Intolerance is not hatred
“...who said the stickers promoted hatred. “
Gonna have to add “hate” to the list of words indicating the speaker doesn’t have an argument.
Existing words are “phobe - or variations”, and “racist”.
Words of idiots and progressives. But I repeat myself.
sorry but this one makes me laugh. The whole point of LGB is that you can’t tell who is or isn’t because it is a choice and it can change.
They should be placed on the doors of every public bathroom.
How about a "No Child Molesters" sticker?
Print your own. Go to Office Depot, buy a big box of 2”x3” adhesive labels, download or create your own “anti” label, print out a hundred labels on an inkjet..
Stick’em on everything.
Rainbow X !?!
