Question

What is the general view of being g*y in Poland today?

Answer 1

Depends. In largest cities it's not that bad, there are some g*y communities, g*y bars etc., however being g*y is maybe tolerated, but definitely not widely accepted.

In smaller towns and villages people rather perceive g**s as "perverts" and being g*y there is not accepted.

In terms of general attitude, it is not very good but getting better. There are g*y associations which organize "tolerance parades" and fight for human rights for g**s. however, there are some politicians who are apparently homophobic, among them current President of Poland and his brother, former Prime Minister.

Answer 2

Pretty bad. Excuse me for saying so, but many Polish people are racist against g**s, or at least, the people I know are. Oh and by the way, I am Polish, but I don't look down upon g*y people.

Answer 3

Not very good. Poland has always been deeply religious and conservative on social issues, but ever since the collapse of communism it has gotten really bad.  g*y bashing isn't just tolerated by the authorities, it is sometimes encouraged by some politcians.

Answer 4

Well, where I grew up (Poland) people weren't against g**s. There was actually a protest about a month ago saying how g**s need freedom in the capital (Warszawa).
