Polish gay rights groups say thousands of homosexuals have fled the country to the UK to escape increasing persecution.

Robert Biedron, a left wing party activist and head of the Polish Foundation Against Homophobia, said "huge numbers" of Polish gays had now fled the country following the rise to power of the current right-wing conservative government.

He said: "It is incredible. The Polish gay community has just moved away because of the climate of fear and persecution.

"Most of the people I know are now in England because of the current political situation. Not for economic reasons, but because of the persecution of homosexuals going on here.

"It’s impossible for gays to be themselves in Poland. Around two million Poles have left the country seeking work and thousands of gays are joining them.

"Many gays are approaching our foundation for help in emigrating to the UK."

Poland’s Catholic, conservative right-wing government has members who are openly anti-gay and the health ministry has created a special committee responsible for "curing" gays, according to local media.

Deputy health minister Marek Grafowski said the ministry was also planning to identify how many people in Poland were gay and work out a set of behavioural guides to assist parents and teachers in recognising warning signs of potential "gay" behaviour.

The police have also been compiling a database on gays and the gay community in Poland which although illegal under EU law, is apparently being done as part of a police investigation into a bomb threat two years ago by a gay man.

He had reportedly identified himself as a meber of the gay community angry when a gay rights march was banned in Warsaw.

"The Police are not allowed to catalogue ‘homosexual data’ but it’s enough to look into the police investigation associated with the bomb in order to establish a list of names and addresses," said Ewa Kulesza, a former personal data protection general inspector.

Fucking conservative catholics... "It's OK to molest children, but if you have consensual sex with an adult, we will persecute you until you flee your home in terror!"

Thanks there sparky, I know you didn't intentionally aim that at me but let me just say it doesn't take religion to be an ass hat, the soviet union did far worse under the guise of "enlightened atheism". Just because your a conservative and/or a catholic doesn't mean that you hate gays or will cover for pedophilia.

You and I both know that American Catholics and Polish Catholics are a different animal in most cases. They have gone nuts as a backlash against soviet oppression of their religious practices. I understand this. It doesn't make them any less nuts.

The government in power in Poland is nutjob hard right Catholics. Tortoise has every right to call them nutjob Catholics, because that's what they are, just as frigid has every right to call the guys running Iran corrupt and vicious Muslims.

To be I also call out the atheist Chinese government, tribalist/muslim/Christian African Dictators and at times taunt European governments, I would go after our domestic government more in the US but that field is sooo crowded as it is...
