ANTI-GAY REMARKS MADE BY POLISH PRESIDENT SPARK ANGER IN IRELAND

21 February 2007

During a debate at Dublin Castle yesterday, the Polish President Lech Kaczynski said that homosexual culture was a threat to the survival of the human race and should not be promoted as an alternative lifestyle.

The Gay and Lesbian Equality Network (GLEN) have called on the head of state to withdraw his remarks.

"I'm sure that many Polish people living in Ireland are disappointed and embarrassed by these remarks," said GLEN spokesman Kieran Rose.

"So I think the best thing for him to do is to withdraw them."

Kaczynski’s (pictured) comments were criticised by Labour Party TD Joan Burton in the Dail last night.

"I have to say I think it is a pity in the context of the contribution that gay people have made not just to the culture, literature and music of his own country, Poland, but in general the contribution to so many different aspects of human life, in the past, and as we live it now,” Burton said.

The Polish president and his wife arrived in Ireland on Sunday and were due to conclude their three-day visit tonight.

Mr Kaczynski is believed to have made the controversial remarks during a debate at the Forum on Europe in Dublin Castle where he spoke on the theme: Poland and Ireland in a United Europe.

this is too funny:

"I'm sure that many Polish people living in Ireland are disappointed and embarrassed by these remarks," said GLEN spokesman Kieran Rose.

So Mrs Rose is upset that Kacyinski would speak in generalities about homosexuals, yet she will speak generally about Poles living in Ireland...

Dude, you've obviously never visited a Polish florist, or hair stylist, or interior design shop, or coffee house. And they somehow manage to get richer than the rest of us by serving coffee or cutting flowers and hair. Queers make the world go round, don't you know?

Blasphemer! Repent and worship those prodding around in feces.

After all, I thought there were just two gay guys in Ireland:

Patrick Fitzgerald and Gerald Fitzpatrick.

Apparently so. Who knew?

"I have to say I think it is a pity in the context of the contribution that gay people have made not just to the culture, literature and music of his own country, Poland, but in general the contribution to so many different aspects of human life, in the past, and as we live it now,” Burton said.

He skipped the contribution that gay people always bring with there behavior called AIDS and gay marriage and promoting sex everywhere at any age.

I love the new de facto standard we are all told we have to abide by which is we no longer have he right to oppose gay anything. What gives any of these people the right to tell the rest of us what we have the right to oppose?

His comment was "should not be promoted as an alternative lifestyle."

So if you don't stand up and promote homo sex then you are to be attacked.

I say give em hell.

One wonders if the day will come when the flame of liberty, freedom, justice, and morality - extinguished in the new world - will once again be lit in the old. God works in mysterious ways.

Lech Kaczynski in '08!

I don't think so, the Eastern Europeans tend not to be politically correct.

He is also a serious Catholic, FWIW

"When I extinguish you I will cover the skies, and darken the stars. I will cover the sun with clouds and the moon will not give its light. I will dim every luminary in heaven for you, and cover your country in darkness -- it is the Lord God who speaks." (Ez.32:7-8).

"I will punish him with plague and bloodshed and send torrential rain, hailstones, fire and brimstone against him and his hordes and against the many nations with him...you shall be killed on the mountains of Israel, you and all your hordes, and the nations with you." (Ez.38:22-23, 39:4)

"All this is going to happen, all this is going to take place -- it is the Lord God who speaks. This is the day I predicted." (Ez.39:8).

"See how the Lord lays the earth waste, makes it a desert, buckles its surface, scatters its inhabitants, priest and people alike, master and slave, mistress and maid, seller and buyer, lenderer and borrower, creditor and debtor. Ravaged, ravaged the earth, despoiled, despoiled, as God has said. " (Is.24:1-3).

"For they have transgressed the law, violated the precept, broken the everlasting covenant. So a curse consumes the earth and its inhabitants suffer the penalty, that is why the inhabitants of the earth are burnt up and few men are left." (Is.24:5-6).

"Yes, the sluicegates above will open, and the foundations of the earth will rock. The earth will split into fragments. So heavy will be its sin on it, it will fall never to rise again." (Is.24:18-19).


"I looked to the earth, to see a formless waste; to the heavens, and their light had gone." (Jer.4:23-24)
