HOLD FOR VANESSA GERA STORY ??"BC??"POLAND LGBT CULTURE WAR
Bart Staszewski, an LGBT activist, holds up a sign he uses to protest anti-LGBT resolutions, in Warsaw, Poland, Jan. 24, 2020. Staszewski has carried out a protest in some 40 Polish towns that have passed resolutions declaring themselves opposed to "LGBT ideology." Staszewski's protest involves photographing a sign he made with the words "LGBT-Free Zone" with the town's official sign. As international pressure mounts on Poland over the government's treatment of its lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community, the prime minister has accused Staszewski of falsifying Poland's image.
