A statement read during the demonstration by The Polish Embassy in
Paris organized by Inter LGBT France.

Paris, 29th October 2005

On behalf of Polish community of gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgender people, we would like to
express our thanks for a great support from French, other European organizations and political parties.

We are very touched with the tremendous support, understanding and compassion coming from friends
from all over the Europe.

It is a significant signal that values of egalité, fraternité, liberté are still in danger in our common
home - Europe. Polish LGBT People respect a democratic choice of Polish society to
choose Mr. Lech Kaczynski as the President of the Republic of Poland. But like our French and European friends Polish LGBT people would like to condemn the use of "hate speech"and homophobic statements
used by "aw and Justice"party during parliamental and presidential elections in 2005.

Gay and lesbian rights are human rights - Polish President and Prime
Minister can't forget about it!
