Krasnik, a so called ‘LGBT Free Zone’ city, is not happy that the funding it relies upon has has gone by the way side and is now synonymous with anti gay hate but still won’t repeal the hateful proclamations like other Polish towns have done. (New York Times)

The misguided attempts to appease the far right do their job in whipping up a fervently anti-LGBT base into a frenzy. Beyond the hate bubbling up for all to see, there is little benefit to anyone in passing these sort of toothless yet brazen proclamations. Like in America, the base adherents of anti-gay bigotry support these sorts of hateful measures, but an inevitable backlash quickly forms that clearly indicates society as a whole rejects this hatred. In the end no one wins with hate.
