Being gay in Poland

So, that's a controversial one, huh?
The newest topic of our CF meeting "Being Gay in Poland: Myth and Reality" seems to be the most controversial so far, of themes presented, especially given recent media debacle over Warshaw Parade. Writing this just before the Forum meeting, i can't help but wonder, what the turnout will be this time. Public stating of one's views over a subject that divides Polish society as much as this one may prove to be challenging. But I hope it will only make the discussion more interesting. Hopefuly no one's bringing eggs.
Here's a handful of links covering the "fact and definition" side of the issue. they may be a good source of vocabulary as well. After the meeting we'll look for articles reffering to particular disscussion subjects.
