Reports (6)
- Date is incorrect "Both male and female same-sex sexual activity have been legal in Poland since 1932, when the country introduced an equal age of consent for homosexuals and heterosexuals, which was set at 15. "
- Other "There are no LGBT-free zones in Poland, it's just propaganda. "
- Date is incorrect "Both male and female same-sex sexual activity have been legal in Poland since 1932, when the country introduced an equal age of consent for homosexuals and heterosexuals, which was set at 15."
- Newer law has been passed "There are no laws prohibiting homosexual activities in Poland. Even so-called LGBT-free zones are statements, not new laws according to Insider News' document about mentioned zones. https://youtu.be/ADb60W8jTsM?t=127"
- Status is not correct "The cited source doesn't support claim that same-sex contacts are criminalized in so called LGBT Free Zones. Penal code didn't change in Poland in regards to same-sex intercourse so claiming otherwise is a lie.
I can't cite any additional sources because how am I supposed to prove that informations are untrue? Cite whole Polish penal code to show that it doesn't have any law regarding this issue?"
- Newer law has been passed "There is no act that prohibits same-sex activities in Poland (even LGBT-free zones don't prohibit that)"
