Poland’s communes that have adopted resolutions establishing themselves as homophobic “LGBT-free zones” and have therefore been excluded from the EU’s “Town Twinning” program, will receive support from the Justice Fund, Zbigniew Ziobro has informed.
The Justice Fund was established to help victims of crime.
However, amid severe criticism, Ziobro claimed the money was support for the commune that “supports the family and rejects an ideology that is contrary to Polish culture and LGBT ideology.”
Homophobia has been steadily on the rise in Poland and according to the latest annual Rainbow Map and Index, in terms of LGBT+ equality and rights, Poland is the worst in the EU.
