Poland to ban same-sex couples from adopting, even as single parents
Change language:
People living in same-sex couples will be barred from adopting children in Poland even as single parents, under a new law announced on Thursday by a nationalist ruling party which has made anti-gay policies a major part of its governing platform.
The announcement is likely to intensify a clash between Poland and the European Union over LGBT rights, which the EU says must be respected in all member states, but which Poland calls a threat to its Roman Catholic culture and a purely domestic issue.

The Polish government announced its plan for the adoption ban hours before lawmakers in the European parliament adopted a major gay rights resolution that was seen as a direct rebuke to Warsaw’s recent policies.
Poland already allows only opposite sex couples or single people to adopt children. The change announced on Thursday would require the authorities to vet single people seeking to adopt, and bar them if they are cohabitating with someone of the same sex.
“We are preparing a change where (…) people living in cohabitation with a person of the same sex could not adopt a child, so a homosexual couple will not be able to adopt a child,” said Deputy Justice Minister Michal Wojcik.
Wojcik said the purpose of the measure was to protect children: “It’s about a child’s safety, about its wellbeing,” he said. LGBT rights activists said it would instead punish children by restricting adoptions.
The ‘poofie-woofies’ and ‘licky-lickies’ within Brussels’ bureaucracy INSIST that every E.U. country should TOLERATE – even WELCOME – their fellow sexual deviants.
CRAP !
Hungary and Poland are quite within their DEMOCRATIC, SOVEREIGN RIGHTS to ban same-sex couples from adopting, even as single parents.
The ‘pillow-biters’ and ‘groin-spreaders’ should just remain in their bedrooms and / or public toilets.
As the old saying goes, “Out of sight, out of mind.”
