• The Prime Minister of Poland thinks society doesn’t need more gay people. Responding to criticism over a proposal to terminate teachers for “homosexual propaganda,” he said, “Nobody is limiting gay rights in Poland. … However, if we’re talking about not having homosexual propaganda in Polish schools, I fully agree with those who feel this way. … Such propaganda should not be in schools; it definitely doesn’t serve youth well. … It’s not in the interest of any society to increase the number of homosexuals — that’s obvious.” This guy’s gonna catch some heat now — that’s obvious.

It’s almost like free-speech surrender.” McGuirk should feel damned lucky he’s not in Poland or India.
