Because striking nurses aren't usually accompanied by racist, anti-gay skinheads who are also looking for a fight
They don't need to. They're throwing stones, setting tires on fire without need of help from skinheads etc :P
I remember when they were protesting for several days in the city centre.
Warsaw is huge. I am certain that those who need to protest can do so without inconveniencing those of us who just trying to get to work
I understand. On the other hand, such protests are announced several days before they happen, so you're able to make plans and be prepared. But still, it's an opposition between two values. Freedom of speech, and freedom of movement (:P) so I can understand your meaning.
I thought you're one of these guys in Poland who say "yeah, you may be gay, but don't go on the streets bekoz i dont wanna see IT!" and bs like that... sorry for that ;)
Paradoks: Not any time soon hopefully. I may very well be dead when that happens. People still respect family values here.
MaxwellKraft: You can respect the traditional nuclear family and still support same-sex marriage, and if you find homosexuality icky you can always just avoid it. You will be amazed at how easy it is to go through life and not have a guy suck your dick.
I think most people who hate gays so much are just people who have problems with their own sexuality. Maybe, in the inside, deeply in the inside, they just fear that they can be homosexual as well. Even if they're not, they're so scared about it, they think if they saw some gay parade in public, some gay marriage, they would become gay as well ;) So many "the'ys" in one sentence.
