Poland has been put into a difficulty to associate to Europe Union for a religionous reason. Brendan Fay who is a “famous” gay is fighting for equal fair of gays and lesbians in Poland. he physically puts his country in a posibility not be able to get into Europe Union and the balance of political power in Warsaw. This guy himself got married with Dr. Thomas A. Moulton in 2003. The president Lech Kaczynski who is a symbol of the conservative Law and Justice Party has given a speech about their wedding including a video clip. He has also shown the map of Poland before World War II, linking his anti-gay to historic event that Poland had anxieties with German encroachment.
In contrast, Mr. Fay sent a letter to the Poland’s consul general in New York. He critisized for civil rights. He claimed that there is no justificable reasons for showing their private stuff in public without their permission, especially as a part of homophobic campaign. The consul general said that he did not know why the president did that. They might try to find some useful proofs that support their ideas which goes against homosexuality.
Homosexuality is still illegal in some countries. In Senegal, they arrested some guys just because they appear in a gay wedding. But this is not a good reason for critisizing or linking it with the country’s history or events. Also, we need to talk about human rights. Gays and lesbians are human, too. For some reasons, they are different from everybody else. But they may come together and help each other. That is not wrong. We need to see it wisely and let them live as normal people. It is not against any laws. Religions is an important aspect but they have been made to teach us how to treat people ethically, not to put them into laws that take away their hapiness. Laws against gays nad lesbian are belong to cultural laws, not belong to economics laws or co-operation. We have to differ them. We may commend them but not ban them for that.

That is very true, it’s horrible to think that people aren’t allowed to be themselves in a place where they live. I think that if you’re gay then you should be able to say to the world “I’m gay!” and be excepted for who they are. I know a lot of guys that are gay, and some girls who are lesbians. I do not judge them in any way, I love them all just for who they are. I think that the government needs to leave people alone, and get over the fact that everyone is different in their own way.
