New Polish ruling coalition outlines plans to introduce same-sex unions

Figures from each of the three main groups that make up Poland’s new ruling coalition have outlined plans to introduce legal recognition of same-sex unions. However, one of them has ruled out the idea of also allowing same-sex couples to marry.

The new government was sworn into office last week, ending eight years of rule by the national-conservative Law and Justice (PiS) party, which had led a vocal campaign against what it calls “LGBT ideology”.

The new administration – made up of the centrist Civic Coalition (KO), centre-right Third Way (Trzecia Droga) and The Left (Lewica) – is expected to expand LGBT rights, though it is not clear to what extent. Their coalition agreement only mentioned making anti-LGBT hate speech a crime.

My dumb ass thought work unions, not marriage
- Same
- Both are good. Even at the same time.
  
  Same-sex labor unions are the future socialists want
- Would be mad though if the Big Gay Polish Union started fighting Big German Automotive. I'd buy tickets for that.
LOL, die mad fascists.
