these words were not accepted well and still cause some contrversies. www.pinknews.co.uk/2019/08/02/archbishop-claims-rainbow-plague-afflicting-poland/A Catholic archbishop in Poland has claimed that a “rainbow plague” is afflicting the country, after a rise in anti-LGBT sentiment. Archbishop of Krakow Marek Jedraszewski made the claim in a sermon at St. Mary’s Basilica on Thursday (August 1), according to Poland’s TVN24. Archbishop: Rainbow plague trying to ‘control souls, hearts and minds’ He said: “Our land is no longer affected by the red plague, which does not mean that there is no new one that wants to control our souls, hearts and minds. “Not Marxist, Bolshevik, but born of the same spirit, neo-Marxist. Not red, but rainbow.”Baskets containing a sampling of Easter food are brought outside Mariacki Basilica in Krakow are blessed on Holy Saturday by the Archbishop of Krakow, Marek Jedraszewski.

The anti-LGBT backlash spilled out into violence in July, when extremists launched a violent attack on a Pride event in Biaĺystok. 25 people were detained by police after the parade was set upon by a mob, who pelted the LGBT+ campaigners with rocks, glass bottles and firecrackers
