A gay tolerance march in the southern Polish city of Krakow has been attacked by a rival demonstration of young nationalists.

Police using riot shields and batons kept the two demonstrations apart.

Several arrests were made after members of the far-right All Poland Youth Group began throwing stones and eggs at the participants of the tolerance march.

More than 1,000 people, including an ex-deputy PM, took part in the march to promote tolerance to gays and lesbians.

At the same time, activists from the nationalist All Poland Youth were holding what they called a "tradition" march.

Some held banners daubed with the words, "Stop deviation". Others chanted, "Lesbians and gays, all of Poland is laughing at you".

The tolerance demonstration changed its route to avoid a clash, but some members of the tradition march ran after it, hurling stones and eggs.

Two years ago, a gay march in Krakow was also attacked.

Homophobia is not uncommon in this staunchly Catholic country.

And gay rights groups say the situation has deteriorated since the conservative Law and Justice Party came to power last September.

It campaigned on traditional, family and Catholic values.

Shortly after he became Prime Minister, Kazimierz Marcinkiewicz said in an interview that homosexuality is unnatural.

According to surveys, nine out of 10 Poles agree with him.

To the MSM, it's always the far-right that starts the fight.

That many people making that much sense sort of takes all the wind out of the light bulb jokes, doesn't it?

Did you hear the one about the Polish gay guy?
He slept with women!

Dude....

[sully777]

This wasn't taken at the rally



...but if the guy marched in Krakow he would have fit in. He will not harm anyone's vagina. That's a promise!

[jw777]

so many jokes, so little time......

I wonder which of the Leftist world groups organized this march? I doubt it was "spontaneous" or just happens to coincide with all the other garbage going on in the world. Poland has not forgotten God, and the Left can't abide that.

Humph. I would think the homosexuals would have liked the smell of rotten eggs. It would remind them of their lover. It could be considered "romantic."

"Lesbians and gays, all of Poland is laughing at you".

So are Americans, but the homos are used to it here.

YOu missed a better line

Ironically, its a former Marxist country that is most immune to this relativist BS - Homophobia? There is no fear of gays - they just think its wrong.

Nationalists in Poland? Hmm, let's read on.

Ah, far-right nationalists in Poland. Got it. Probably chanting in German, however.

Homophobia is not uncommon in this staunchly Catholic country.

And homophilia is not uncommon in Britain. Of course, we don't try to stir up images of Nazi Germany because of it, do we?

The existence of babies tends to confim that.

I scare myself

I scare myself
You’re some kind of voodoo
