Com a participação e colaboração de várias organizações internacionais de direitos GLBT, realizou-se hoje em Varsóvia mais uma edição do Gay Pride com a participação de cerca de 4.000 pessoas 'vestidas' com as cores do arco-íris, segunda dados da polícia. Como já é habitual houve contraprotesto, mas tratava-se apenas de um pequeno grupo, tendo a polícia detido 5 destes elementos.

"Around 4,000 people turned out for the Equality Parade, police said. Many of the participants carried the rainbow flag, the symbol of homosexual rights, and marched under the slogan "Love Thy Neighbour" -- the use of the biblical commandant an apparent swipe at ultra-Catholic protesters. There was little sign of the flamboyant dress, including drag, which is a feature of Gay Pride events in other European Union countries where the lot of homosexuals is seen as better than in Poland."
