New Polish ruling coalition outlines plans to introduce same-sex unions

"The law on civil partnerships should have been passed a long time ago, it's already the 21st century," says Szymon Hołownia.

My dumb ass thought work unions, not marriage
- Same
- Both are good. Even at the same time.
  
  Same-sex labor unions are the future socialists want
- Would be mad though if the Big Gay Polish Union started fighting Big German Automotive. I'd buy tickets for that.
LOL, die mad fascists.
Figures from each of the three main groups that make up Poland’s new ruling coalition have outlined plans to introduce legal recognition of same-sex unions. However, one of them has ruled out the idea of also allowing same-sex couples to marry.

The new government was sworn into office last week, ending eight years of rule by the national-conservative Law and Justice (PiS) party, which had led a vocal campaign against what it calls “LGBT ideology”.

The new administration – made up of the centrist Civic Coalition (KO), centre-right Third Way (Trzecia Droga) and The Left (Lewica) – is expected to expand LGBT rights, though it is not clear to what extent. Their coalition agreement only mentioned making anti-LGBT hate speech a crime.
