On saturday the 12th June, a 3,000 strong demonstration in Warsaw, Poland, for equality for gay people and culture in Poland was marred by threats and aggression from right wing opponants.

The parade went ahead despite having been banned by Warsaws major, Kaczynski, who was pied once before for banning the march last year.

Solidarity with gay rights

30.11.2005 11:14

The spirit of Solidarity is still alive in Poland. This weekend many demonstrations supporting gay rights were carried out in several Polish big cities. Demonstrations were attended by many politicians, artists, and people well recognized in the fights for human rights and democracy. Let’s hope that all these demonstrations are not simply actions against the policies of the new government but a deep understanding that to preserve human rights, the rights of all humans must be guarded.
