He also ruined the country since then. I'd suggest Poland.
good thing you explained how
Since they suggested Poland as an alternative, it is probably something like "the gays"
Is Poland anti gays? I think they have been improved their tolerance in the last years? I know they had the pride parade in katowice last weekend
Things are getting better but painfully slowly. They don't even have recognised same sex partnerships, let alone marrieges. One of the arguments against partnerships when it was debated in the parliament a few years ago was that the word "partner" (which in Polish is also "partner") is already used in Polish and commonly means "business partner" and people would get confused which one you'd mean when you said "this is my partner". Wałęsa, the Nobel Peace Prize laureate, said of one gay activist (who at the time was an MP) that he has no place in the parliament.
That was a few years ago though, and yes there have been pride parades across the country this year, and the news articles about them don't seem to be dominated by reports of "normality parades" counter-organised by homophobes on the same day to intimidate pride parades. But I guess it's one of those changes that happen funeral by funeral...
What was this post about? Oh, right. @OP, if you're gay - don't move to Poland. At least not just yet.
Just the one gay, actually.
