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 man is right on! Homosexual acts are acts of grave depravity, and are contrary to natural law. Under no circumstances can they be approved. However, many men and women do not choose their homosexual condition; for most of them it is a trial. Unjust discrimination must be avoided. These people are called to fulfill God's will in their lives and, if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord's Cross the difficulties they may encounter from their condition. Basically they are called to chastity.

Though neither Polish nor Irish, allow me to chime in and say I support Mr. Kaczynski's right to say whatever he wants and I agree with his position on this issue.
Well said! Now if only more politicians had the cojones to stand up to the lavender mafia.

You have it wrong! In Ireland even the clergy is heterosexual, remember the Bishop of Galway and his girlfriends and children.

Stop the Presses! The following truthful comment was stunningly opposed by the leadership of global degeneracy: 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.

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. Why? Just because homosexual relationships are sterile? < /s>
Does he want to be the next US president? The job will be opening up soon.
