On Sunday (19 June), thousands marched in Polish capital Warsaw to fight against LGBTQ+ discrimination and prejudice. Led by major Rafal Trzaskowski, the Equality Parade was filled with marchers and rainbow flags in protest of rising homophobia in the country.
Speaking on state-run news channel TVP Info, Czarnek remarked: “You’ve seen the pictures of the so-called Equality Parade, and that has nothing to do with equality.
You saw people dressed bizarrely, a man dressed like a woman, are they normal people in your opinion?” Later, he clarified his comments, saying he was criticising their behaviour and not the marchers themselves.
