Im going to visit Poland at the end of this month, just curious how locals see gay people, do you have problems with it? will we get bashed? do men there like latins? or hate them for their color? anybody any thoughts?

If you are staying in a big city, you should be OK, if you are visiting a small town, you might be stared at if you are holding hands with your partner and so on. If you are flamboyant and loud you might attract some unwanted attention. Stay safe and don't go out by yourself to places you are not familiar with. Use you common sense.

mvefa: i come here for tips and i get all kinds of crap...! It's like you're in Poland already! There's an old Polish saying: "A guest in the home, oh no!!! he's gay!!! get him out! get him out! get him out!!!!!" (and to think some Polish people don't understand why so many western countries think of Polish attitudes as backwards...... the mind boggles)

mvefa	May 12, 09, 10:27 / #
hahaha is it that bad? huh and is it true all guys there are bashers and have shaved heads and army pants? haha just what i've heard here so far,,,enlighten me plz!

Actually things are probably worse now than five years ago. Gaydar has never been part of the general Polish skill set (which meant that even very obviously gay people were not necessarily suspected of being gay). Also there wasn't much idea that homosexuality was bad morally. Negative attitudes were more about it being statistically uncommon (Poland is a _very_ conformist country and most people want to like what other people like and are embarassed by even pretty trivial deviations from the norm). Then a couple of Polish political parties picked up on the fact that gay-bashing was a road to electoral success in the US (Polish politics is generally more modelled after American than European models) and things went downhill. Still, unless you actaully make out in public no one's liable to notice or care that you're gay. If you tell people you're gay, a certain amount of responses will be negative. and a lot of straight Polish men are born metrosexuals, vain about their appearance or clothes in ways that are very gay-seeming to westerners and a lot of straight Polish men are attracted to fashion styles that are very gay-seeming to westerners (though they'll feign distaste once they realize that tight leather pants and a bandana aren't macho after all).

Hey mvefa! You should use couch surfing website to contact gay people in Poland who want to host travellers and show them around! I'm going to Warsaw in the summer and have made a few friends from Poland through it! Good luck in your travels :)

Polonius3: Come out of the closet and die young! Or stay in the closet and become a Catholic priest so you can rape young priests as much as you want without any possibility of any punishment.

You guys are retarded, leave your hatred behind, it is really really 1940's, get on with the times, hatred against minorities are not acceptable anymore...

McCoy: why do you live in holland mvefa? He did say he was Dutch with Latin American roots on another thread. So I would expect that is why he lives in Holland ? :)
