"They want to be beaten. They want to be battered. That's how they want to make the 'martyr myth'",
"Equality Marches became a touring happening"

Potentially dangerous situation on the Wrocław Equality March. Police officers stopped a man with two knives, who was walking in the direction of Wolności Square, where the participants of the LGBT march gathered. The man shouted out, among others, the words of "Allah Akbar".
The detainee is a 41-year-old Polish citizen. He has already had a record of offences.

A married couple from Lublin brought gas containers with firecrackers to the illegal Equality March counter-demonstration. They have heard allegations of illegal manufacture and possession of explosive devices which could pose a threat to the life or health of many people.
Builders of homemade bombs are under three months' pre-trial detention now, and threatened with between six months and eight years in prison. #plpol #lgbtinpl

It seems that the government has also recognised the existence of same-sex couples. But only in terms of the disclosure of their assets, nothing more.

Last week, before list numbers for parties in Poland's forthcoming elections were selected by lottery by the Polish National Electoral Commission, a PiS candidate was already displaying banners that said PiS's list number was 2.

Today, list numbers were announced. PiS's is 2.

- I think it is the most tolerant place in Poland. The resolution is about stopping ideology, I am its opponent and I voted for it with a clear conscience - said Jan Bocek, a councillor of Istebna.

- LGBT people are people, not ideology. What you call an ideology and LGBT has already existed many times in history and this has led to disaster without exceptions. [...] I am ashamed, also reminding my grandparents who survived the WW2 and told me stories about what happened to homosexuals and how they were treated," said Gabriela Lazarek from Green Party during the session.

Istebna not for LGBT. The municipal council adopted a special resolution to stop the development of "LGBT ideology".

14 councillors voted "for", one of them was absent. The resolution was therefore adopted unanimously.

The recorded person keeps saying "Get the fuck out with that phone". At the end of the video Michał said "Ok I'm getting away, please don't push on me.".
Looks like it didn't work.

Michał Piękoś from Leftists movement started collecting signatures (legally needed for elections). Some people didn't like that he was with a rainbow flag. They spat on him, pushed and threatened. He described this video as the last moments of his phone memory before one of them smashed it on the floor.
"We're getting used to it. The hate becomes bread and butter."

"There will be people in appropriate clothes to show that they are disinfecting the area and the point is to disinfect the area from certain ideologies. We also encourage you to take your own cleaning equipment, such as brooms."
