Andrzej Sebastian Duda (born 16 May 1972) is a Polish lawyer and politician who has served as president of Poland since 6 August 2015. Before becoming president, Andrzej Duda was a member of Polish Lower House (Sejm) from 2011 to 2014 and the European Parliament from 2014 to 2015.
New Polish minister has linked “LGBT ideology” to a “civilisation of death”
Poland is experiencing a massive wave of homophobia at the moment, enabled by its President, Andrzej Duda, who made opposition to LGBTQ+ rights a key plank of his re-election campaign.
This has led to many queer people fleeing the country for their safety. And a new political appointment is unlikely to help matters, as on Thursday (20 August), the Polish Prime Minister, Mateusz Moraweicki appointed Zbigniew Rau as the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
It’s possible that Rau might be even more homophobic than Duda, having previously grossly linked “LGBT ideology” to a “civilisation of death” that included things like zoophilia, paedophilia and cannibalism.
