Hoooo boy. It's my understanding that things are not good in Poland for LGB right now, correct? Well, if they're hoping to gain equal rights this is NOT the way to go. It took decades of positive activism and optics from the LGB saying "we're not freaks, we're not child abusers, we're not mentally ill, we're just normal people who are same-sex attracted" to gain any traction. With the insanity of the T in the US, LGBT support has gone down recently. Putting the T front and center is going to do the exact opposite of what they are hoping it will do.

No they are not. The country is litteraly devided in two (the president had 51%) and to no surprise the conservative part is full of old, Catholic and country side people who know nothing about the gays other than what government propaganda tells them, and it's not good. They said "these are not people this is an ideology" and there are countless acts of violence against LGBT community. Uuuugh I hate being put together, whenever someone refers to gay people and calls them LGBT I feel like I'm part of some cult, or this freaky queer culture which I'm not. I simply want what any other kid wants, just with the same sex, It doesn't harm or should concern anybody. The teachers refer to LGBT as a "trend". It's not a trend, I don't want any attention on the fact I just wanna date a girl instead of a boy. (Insert "I just wanna dance with you" from the Prom)
