More than half of Poles tolerate homosexuality

Fifty-one percent of Poles consider homosexuality a tolerable deviation from the norm, while 23 percent see it as something normal, indicate the results of a survey by the CBOS pollster released on Wednesday. Seventeen percent of the respondents said homosexuality was not normal and should not be tolerated. Forty-three percent of those polled indicated that they personally knew homosexual people. CBOS noted that the number of people claiming personal acquaintance with homosexuals was on a steady rise since 2008.
