66% of the Poles say that gays and lesbians should have been forbidden to organize public demonstrations, 27% say they should have had this right. 66% think that the Poles’ attitude towards homosexuals is hostile, 25% - that it’s neutral and only 1% think that the attitude is friendly. 25% express the opinion that homosexual couples should have the right to show their lifestyle in public, 69% want them to stay invisible.
At the same time, only 15% of respondents admit that they know someone who is gay personally! And these are mostly citizens of some big cities. Young ones. Well, it’s hard to underestimate their level of education - better educated Poles more often consider homosexuality a totally normal thing, but it’s poor 8% in general.
31% of respondents say that the best thing to do was to eliminate all the homosexuals. 41% support legal civil unions of gays and lesbians, 48% are against. But if you call it a marriage, this support suddenly drops down to poor 18%, and objection rises to 76%.
Only 6% of the Poles say that gays and lesbians deserved the right to adopt children, 90% absolutely objects to it.
Besides, my fellow citizens would like to interfere also in our private lives. 37% of the society want us to be forbidden to fuck in our own homes, as many generously allow us these perversions.
The research carried out by CBOS (Centre for Public Opinion Research - one of the biggest and most important public opinion research institutions) between 9 and 12 May 2008 on a representative group of 1116 adult Polish citizens.

First thing You, my Dear Visitor, should know is that this is not the place to practise an emotional exhibitionism of a permanently unhappy and harmed by life gay guy. Nay! Quite the contrary, I live in a perfect harmony with my rather not bad world. Well, what was and is the purpose of launching and writing this blog? Now two things. Firstly - I'd like, at least to some extent, to make this society, yet not one of the best - Polish society, realize that a gay is quite the same human as anyone else. He loves, feels, is happy, is sad, rejoices, learns, studies, votes, has political views, enjoys himself, has friends, works etc. etc. Secondly - I'd like to show that a gay can be happy with himself, his life and his world. Let this blog be my own little contribution to making this world a better place to be in...
