In Gdańsk a Model for Equal Treatment is being created on the initiative of the city authorities.
Here is part of it:
The support of the Mayor and the City of Gdansk for the postulates of the homosexual circles fuels the strong polarization and concern in society for the protection of the morals of the young generation of Poles. The currently discussed Model for Equal TreatmentThe "LGBTQ" campaign, in which many of our churches are listed, is a call for revolutionary moral and cultural change. It is an expression of the irresistible desire of LGBTQ circles to perceive others through the prism of sexual preferences. We do not agree to implement its provisions. "

Below are selected answers in a discussion with the initiator of the objection. Questions were asked by onet.pl journalist:
”
Then perhaps I will quote one of the provisions that you do not like. "You have the right to exercise all of your sexual rights, regardless of your gender, race, age, sexual orientation, etc." What about this sentence is unacceptable to a pastor?
What is unacceptable is the context. This is directed at a young man who is being told that he has the right to "exercise his sexual rights." Which is what? Sex with a female friend or a classmate or two? What is his "sexual right" and who gave it to him? Let's not forget that the audience for this booklet is high school students. It talks about heterosexual, homosexual, or bisexual behavior, among other things. But there is another important context to the whole Model for Equal Treatment in Gdansk.
What is the context?
The City of Gdańsk and its Mayor are not competent to deal with the sexual education of my children, the children of the citizens of Gdańsk. This is an intimate, individual matter, concerning morality and worldview, where it is impossible to lump all children together and bring them up in the same way. There are sexual behaviors that are defined by Scripture as indecent, immoral, and sinful behavior. The Healthy Love pamphlet and the draft equality model not only fail to mention this, but actually abolish such distinctions, which indicates that the project is world-confrontational in nature. The authors (supported by the mayor) claim that the only condition for healthy and normal sexual activity is the will of two people. Regardless of what gender they are, their age or whether they are married, etc. That is, it ignores the entire context in which human sexuality should be described. One might ask whether discussion of this topic should take place at all in a general space, in an urban space that is diverse in worldview."

Meanwhile, the winner of the 2014 Eurovision Song Contest, Austrian singer Thomas Neuwirth known as Conchita Wurst, has declared that he is HIV positive.
By the way, the war between the ideological right and the ideological left is becoming more and more apparent, as initiated by Trump.
In the end, the Council, made up of supporters of Mayor Adamowicz, adopted the Model for Equal Treatment.
This quote from Luke came to mind in this situation:
"He (Jesus) said again to his disciples: 'It is impossible that the reproaches should not come; but woe to him through whom they come. 2 It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and thrown into the sea than that he should be the cause of the sin of one of these little ones."
Mr. Adamowicz, woe to you because you and your supporters are falling into the hands of the living God!!!
In my opinion, the people of Gdansk should vote for Kacper Blazynski as their candidate for Mayor of Gdansk.
But we as Bible Christians do not have, and probably never will have, candidates. But we can and must choose the lesser of two evils. It does not matter if Hitler or even Korwin Mikke will rule over us.
If we are passive, it won't be a few years before transgender people are teaching our children.
We Christians have a choice because there is a fully Christian party. We are the salt of the earth, Christians. If we are not in politics, who will show the people who rule now and those who fight for power what God's order should look like?

That pro-Israel party of Chojecki's, where Kowalski swears during the program?
Pastor Chojecki and Mr. Marian Kowalski are divorced.
It's a shame they're getting involved...
Hehhe. I had the opportunity to meet Paul in person. He is really very conservative (in the good biblical sense) and does not agree with any concessions. While I don't agree with him on everything, his knowledge of God's Word and communicating it to others is most understandable and supported by Bible verses. He is definitely a very active pastor ?
