Gay Group Disappointed as European Parliament Adopts Soft Approach on Homophobia in Poland

The European arm of the International Lesbian and Gay Association expressed "disappointment" at the Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE) Committee of the European Parliament following a discussion yesterday (April 11) on homophobia in Poland .

The committee was split on the way forward to a request by two Dutch MEPs, Kathalijne Buitenweg (Greens) and Sophie in ´t Veld (ALDE), to discuss the worsening situation in Poland following the recent pronouncements by the country's minister of education to restrict lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people's entitlement to employment in schools and other education institutions.
