International News Title: Poles Blasting EU for Gay Flag Claims that display normalizes homosexuality
BRUSSELS (ChurchMilitant.com) - Brussels is getting backlash from Poland for flying a gay flag outside of the European Parliament. On Thursday, a rainbow flag was hoisted up in front of the building for the first time in its history, marking "International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia." Despite outcry from Polish conservatives, the European Union said, "Regrettably, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) persons in Europe are still subject to serious discrimination and maltreatment on the basis of their sexual orientation or gender identity."
Ryszard Legutko, co-chairman of the European Conservatives and Reformists group, said in a letter to the European Parliament that Thursday's initiative displayed "just one lobby group." He questioned why the Parliament would not promote other unofficial "international days" like those celebrating museums, beer or students. Since 1990, May 17 has been remembered as the anniversary of the removal of homosexuality from the International Classification of Diseases of the World Health Organization. But Legutko blasted the display of a rainbow flag, saying it endorses a "moral revolution" that privileges same-sex couples. There are "practically no ... attacks" on those with same-sex attraction, Legutko emphasized. There are 'practically no ... attacks' on those with same-sex attraction. This didn't stop the European Commission and European External Action Service, also in Brussels, from illuminating its headquarters with the colors of the gay flag. Frans Timmermans, vice president of the European Commission, said, "It's time we put an end to the widespread discrimination against LGBTI people together." However, Legutko instead recommended hoisting a flag with a fish — a symbol of Christianity — to symbolize the millions of Christians suffering persecution worldwide. Poster Comment: Many of us are sick and tired of politicians kissing the asses of queers! Resurrect the law that outlaws homosexual acts and proselytizing today's thoroughly confused youth. The belong hidden under a rock. Widespread LGBTQI discrimination? Where? When? By whom? If it happens there must have been major stories in the press. But nothing. Instead what I see are Christians being slaughtered and persecuted by the thousands over the last 20 years and not a word from the atheistic marxists in Brussels, London, Berlin, Paris.

Government has no business in people's private consensual sex lives. None. I can see delegitimizing gay marriage, but for that to happen the Christian majority would need to actually vote the part. And they don't. And won't. We should stop mollycoddling emotional sensitivities, but we should not go back to outlawing private sexual behavior.
#4. To: Vicomte13 (#3) Yeah who cares if those Catholics molest little kids. It is private and consensual right?
#5. To: A K A Stone (#4) Nonsensical non-sequitur
#6. To: Vicomte13 (#5) So you were wrong. There should be laws against perverted sex acts. Or are you sticking with your original concept in contradiction of scripture?
Replies to Comment # 6. I said private consensual sex lives. The age of consent is included within my comment. I’m not a bit wrong.
#26. To: A K A Stone (#6) There should be laws against perverted sex acts. Who gets to determine what is perverted,you?
