Hundreds of Polish nationalists chanted ‘Stop degeneration’ as they faced off against LGBT+ campaigners in Warsaw yesterday.
The nationalists even tried to burn rainbow flags. That task proved more challenging and less spectacular because most flags are made from fireproof material.
However the LGBT+ campaigners arguably won the battle of the flags. They sparked a massive police response when they chalked a massive rainbow on the street in front of Warsaw University ahead of the two protests.
The Campaign Against Homophobia wrote: ‘Where they plan to shout slogans of hate, a symbol of the fight for freedom, equality, love and democracy is waiting!’ Soon protest and police lines formed.
