When it comes to LGBT, Poland is on the wrong side of history

Georgette Mosbacher in an interview with a journalist WP.pl was asked about an open letter in defense of the communities published on Sunday LGBT in Poland. A total of 50 ambassadors signed the document. Mosbacher herself added that “human rights are not an ideology, they are universal”.

Georgette Mosbacher on “LGBT-free zones”: Sometimes symbols say more than deeds or words

The ambassador stressed that United States they stand firm for the equality of all peoples and respects the fact that Poland is a Catholic country. However, he adds that recent rhetoric towards sexual minorities alienates our country. – You must know that in terms of LGBT you are on the wrong side of history (…) This also translates into specific business decisions – the ambassador continued.

Georgette Mosbacher added that she was receiving voices from entrepreneurs who do not want to invest in a country where their employees may not be respected. This mainly applies to the film and technology industries. The ambassador added that “creating LGBT-free zones” does not help build Poland’s reputation.

The journalist drew her attention to the fact that there are no such zones – there are resolutions of municipalities on “LGBT-free zones” or Local Family Charter, which do not change anything in Polish law, but are symbolic. – Sometimes symbols say more than deeds or words. I know that this is not entirely fair, but through such “symbols” Poland has acquired the image of a state that does not respect people of different sexual orientation – added the ambassador.

“Human rights are not politics or ideology. There are no compromises here.”

Georgette Mosbacher was also asked to comment on the words Witold Waszczykowski, who, referring to the Vienna Convention, admonished the ambassadors that diplomats could not “interfere in the internal political life of the country in office”. The ambassador confirmed this, but noted that human rights are neither politics nor ideology and in this matter “there are no compromises”.

– Even the vice president and competitor Donald Trump Joe Biden recently referred to “LGBT free zones” on Twitter, reminding them that there is no place for them anywhere in the world. On this one aspect, the two gentlemen and the Democratic and Republican parties are in agreement with each other. It is worth taking this into account – added Mosbacher at the end of the conversation.
