I’m all for criticising religion. I do it. Left wing people do it. Right wing people do it. You can criticise anything, really. But people have sincerely held religious beliefs that are important and meaningful to these people. When you go out of your way to insult a religious holiday, you are hurting people’s feelings. You don’t have to agree with the religion, but you don’t have to be an insensitive jerk either. This shit is what is preventing Poland from developing when it comes to gay rights. Now is the time for gay people in Poland to take a stand and condemn the behaviours of the likes of Stonewall Poland. Because if they don’t and they allow this shite to continue, Poland will end up passing a law similar to the law in Russia. Doesn’t matter if the EU won’t allow it, Poland will simply leave like Britain has done. And if Poland is able to pass this law while still remaining in the European Union, other countries in the EU will pass similar laws. Think the international community is going to care? Maybe western countries and the UN, but countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America won’t give a fuck and they will trade with Poland. Poland might even bury the hatchet with Russia - yes, Duda and his party hate Putin and Russia in general, but there are other right wing political parties in Poland, and they don’t mind Russia. So yeah, if you’re gay and living in Poland, now is the time to call out the bullshit and take charge of the gay rights movement. Find a new strategy.

EDIT: And no, Stonewall, I am not going to date trans people. Also, abortion is a sensitive issue in Poland, so it’s best not to make it a gay rights issue.

Your are 100% right. Unfortunately LGBT organizations in Poland are managed by to the far left, anarchists and radical feminists and they love provocations. In fact that's their usual behavior - do the shit like this, face backlash and later claim to be victims.

Another example from Pride Parade 2019:

Are there any famous or semi-famous gay people in Poland who vocally oppose the far left?

Maybe Tomasz Raczek, a film critic. He sounds reasonable.

BTW. The far left in Poland weaponize LGBT issues for politics and getting money and the right wing socialists (Law and Justice party) are not better.

The Law and Justice party are said to be pro-American and anti-Russian. Now that pro-LGBTQIA+ Biden is in charge of America, what is the party’s stance on America and Russia now?

It's a very good question 🤣 My guess is that Jaroslaw Kaczynski (the leader) is still digesting this issue, so everyone in the Law and Justice is in the "wait and see" mode.

In general if they have some "problems" they usually just wait, just like they did with the nationwide Women's Strike.
