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.

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.
We should not go back to outlawing private sexual behavior.
Bullshit! These sick freaks attempt to recruit youngsters to follow their path to their sickening methods of achieving sexual gratification....but then you know this!
Further, there is no 'Christian majority' anymore as those of us left abhor the placing of these sex freaks atop a pedestal to be more revered than heterosexuals.
And even further, all serial killers have been proven to be homosexual. They're afflicted with a serious mental disease. And lastly, any ingesting of fecal matter is proof that these shit-heels are not worthly of acceptance in a polite society.
So you maintain the age of consent. Doesnt mean you outlaw adult activity.
By 'adult activity' do you mean where one male shoves his pe-pee up another's poo-poo? And furthermore, the faggots shove their mouths up that poo-poo hole and in doing so ingests fecal matter.
Their methods of 'love making' are injurious to their health. Why, God forbid, they might even die of a serious disease.
Yeah, all of the gross aspects of homosexual sodomy are what I mean by adult activity. It's legal between consenting adults, and ought to be legal. They're welcome to it.
I don't need to get a checkup with regards to those things. Do you?
Private sex between consenting adults is their business, and the law does not belong there.
No marching to underscore their 'Gay Pride' and no proselytizing.
Freedom of Speech.
Nazis have the right to march in Skokie. KKK has the right to public rallies. Occupy Wall Street has the right to hang out and be hippies. Gays get to prance down Broadway. So do the Irish, on St. Patrick's Day. Everybody gets to proselytize his religious, political or sexual beliefs. Patriots get to parade the flag, and yahoos get to burn it.
