As part of its Stop Homophobia in Poland campaign supporters of the British Youth Council (BYC) marched at Saturday’s Brighton Pride. BYC hoped that the march would further highlight the plight of the LGBT community in Poland and encourage a public response from the UK government. The campaign brought a political spirit back to the parade and was warmly received by bystanders. Over 1000 stickers were handed out and 100 letters were collected which will be sent to the Prime Minister, Gordon Brown requesting that he publicly denounces the human rights abuses carried out by the Polish government.

BYC has participated in several events and marches since the beginning of the campaign in January 2007. BYC spokesperson Lloyd Russell-Moyle (20) said “We’ve so far had a great deal of support from the public and politicians and have recieved assurances from the UK government and the European Commission that they’re keeping a close eye on what’s happening in Poland and considering their response.”

The last few years have seen an erosion of the human rights of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans-sexual community in Poland. Throughout 2005 and 2006 the homosexual community in Poland has been subject to vehement discrimination including homophobic outbursts by high profile politicians, the banning of Gay pride events and a recent proposal of legislation which will ban discussion of homosexuality in schools and educational institutions.
