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.

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.

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.
You react with the same luke warmness that the Pope does when faggots are discovered in the Vatican in positions of influence. Your indifference to evil is your pc weakness.

Why are catholics so tolerant of faggots?
Because I believe in human liberty, and when it comes to victimless crimes, I believe that such things should be decriminalized so they are not crimes at all.
I do not want to pay police, prosecutors and prison guards, and empower them to intervene in people's bedrooms. I think people who are obsessed about the subject are themselves closeted perverts in some sense or others, sort of like cross-dressing Nancy-boy J. Edgar Hoover who loved to spy on people to get their sexual secrets, then blackmail them using it.
Because of that long-standing tradition of law enforcement and government to use evidence of criminalized private sex to control people, I want the power removed from government to do that. Monica Lewinsky and Stormy Daniels and that guy who Obama used to blow are not of concern to me, and I want to make sure the law stays with me, so that people who ARE concerned about these things are left without power to do anything about it.
I am not indifferent to evil: I think that extorting political concessions from people using the threat of revealing their sex lives is much, MUCH more evil than the actual sex acts.
You don't agree, obviously. The parameters of the law have been worked out in the public square, and the people agree with me a lot more than they agree with you, so you lose.
