WARSAW - Around a hundred Poles took part in an “Equality Run” on Saturday, condemning discrimination against the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community during a presidential election campaign where gay rights have provoked fierce debate.
The run took place as a number of anti-government protests from groups including LGBT rights protestors and feminists took place in Warsaw. The runners, some decked out in the rainbow flag of the LGBT community, ran 5 kilometres along the banks of the Vistula river. Duda has said his words on LGBT “ideology” and communism were taken out of context, while his campaign team has rejected accusations of homophobia.
