Education minister slams participants of gay pride marches

The Polish education minister has launched a blistering attack on people attending LGBT pride marches saying their "vulgar" behaviour deprives them of the right to be treated equally. Przemyslaw Czarnek also said people from the extreme left and those carrying LGBT symbols on banners stand in the way of equality. "These people come out onto the streets, offend Catholics in a vulgar way, shout obscene slogans - and that is supposed to be okay? But when we say this is not normal behaviour, even demoralising, it turns out we are the enemies of a world of progress and equality," he told the "Sieci" weekly on Monday.
