A large crowd of LGBT rights supporters gathered in Warsaw on Saturday to protest the arrest of a transgender activist who had carried out acts of civil disobedience against rising homophobia in Poland.

LGBT rights supporters protest in Warsaw, Poland, Saturday, Aug. 8, 2020.

The protests came a day after LGBT rights supporters in Warsaw scuffled with police who arrested a transgender activist, Malgorzata Szutowicz, known best as “Margot.” Police said they detained 48 people, while activists said police used rough tactics against them.“The police were aggressively pushing the protesters out of the way, knocking people to the ground and holding them down with their boots,” said the Campaign Against Homophobia, a Warsaw-based group.

Szutowicz was put in pre-trial detention for two months for acts of civil disobedience, including using a knife to cut the tires of a van that drives around broadcasting anti-LGBT messages, including a claim that “homosexuals are preparing society to accept pedophilia.”She belongs to a group called Stop Bzdurom , which has been putting rainbow flags and anarchist symbols on Warsaw statues, including one of Jesus, infuriating the conservative government.

See what happens when someone smites the name of the transsexuals? They defend themselves & have power over the middle class people of society.

Fill the kags

We like NON radical gay people. Poland does not lie and sugar coat. The radicalization of the LGBT community is BAD for society. Canada’s SOGI 123 program is BAD for little children. The EU and WHO decided teaching 5 year olds about jerking off is BAD for children. Pedos = BAD 😱

You misspelled assault

Stop LGBT terror and fake news LGBT

Just take them again Russia 😂

Lol 9/11 was an act of civil disobedience

- this is why he was arrested. Assault and battery

This is fakenews he was arrested for assault and battery

Are they gonna institute their bishop as supreme leader? Similar to Ayatollah Khomeini

Poland, the christian equivalent of Turkey.

亲美的坏处,西方自由主义的侵蚀

Isn't it time that every journalist who writes a story about any LGBT activists or agenda puts their name & sexual orientation below the title of their published article? When, like drainpipe trousers and bell bottoms, the ideologial fashion changes we can judge their integrity!

Everyone has the right to refuse to condone any sort of non-procreative sexual activities. In other words people have a right to be 'homophobic' which is a word (like bigot) used to insult people's freedom to think, without fear or favour, what's right or wrong for themselves!

“In contrast to ethical relativism, Christianity sets forth a system of absolute moral values and affirms that God has placed within the very structure of this universe certain moral principles that are fixed and immutable.” –Martin Luther King, Jr.

While everyone is here being queer and beautiful, please support my go fund me, I’m transitioning and it’s not easy doing this alone
