EU threatens to withhold funds over LBGTQ “free zones” in Poland
The LGBTQ+ community has seen a lot of discrimination recently in Poland. So much that the European Union has threatened to withhold crucial funding from Poland.
Poland is a Catholic-based country and the ideals of the Catholic church affect almost every aspect of law in Poland.
Top officials in Poland are against the LBGTQ+ community and have zero policies or laws to protect the individuals in the community. This has sparked outrage amongst groups and has caught the attention of many countries and global organizations. Polish cities have gone as far as to identify themselves as “LGBT free zones” where no one in the community is allowed. This has gone as far as to cause individuals to flee the country in fear of harm to themselves from the Catholic-based country. These cities are becoming more widespread and individuals living in Poland use Catholic ideologies to excuse their displacements.
It’s crazy to see that these basic human rights are not being protected just because these individuals are LGBT, and its sad to see that top officials are openly hateful towards the community and refuse to accept them as true Polish.
Wow, I did not know this! This is so heartbreaking to read. They literally have zones where the LBGTQ+ cannot enter?? These are basic human rights! The suicide rate is so high in this community because of people like this.
