Lech Kaczynski needs a new photo editor.

The Polish president comes under gay fire this morning after using an American couple's wedding video during an anti-gay tirade.

Speaking to his nation, Kaczynski used Brendan Fey and his husband, Tom, to illustrate the dangers of the EU's Charter of Fundamental Rights, which includes gay rights. Kaczynski claims that the Charter will lead to an homo infiltration of his Catholic nation.

While Fey's certainly offended by the political implications of the video's use, he's also struck by the irony of the situation: "Tom and I, we are both Catholic, in fact we met at church at Sunday mass."

Uh-oh, Lech, the gays are closer than you think!

Europe's human rights court rejected Poland's appeal over their 2005 Warsaw Pride ban:

Euro MP Michael Cashman has welcomed the decision of the European Court of Human Rights to uphold its previous verdict against the Polish Government and the ban by the Warsaw city authorities of the city’s Gay Pride in 2005.

The ban came while Lech Kaczynski was mayor of Warsaw. Later that year, he was elected President of Poland.

“This ruling can now be added to a growing list of actions being undertaken by the European institutions to defend the fundamental freedoms of not just Polish LGBT individuals, but of all European individuals,” Mr. Cashman, president of the Parliament’s gay and lesbian rights ‘Intergroup’, said this afternoon.

Take that, Kaczynski!

Poland's virulently homophobic president and prime minister, identical twins Lech and Jaroslaw Kaczynski, have been feuding with former president Lech Walesa for years. This well-known animosity all started as a joke, says Walesa's son:

Despite the passage of time, Jaroslaw Walesa remains coy when it comes to the details of his father's joke that so enraged the Kaczynskis. It is widely known, however, to be a politically incorrect story of two brothers who arrive at a party - one with his wife and one with his "husband".

For Jaroslaw Kaczynski, who has suggested gay people should not be allowed to be teachers but is unmarried and lives with his cat and his mother, the "joke" proved unfunny enough to fuel a lifelong animosity against Poland's political icon.

For Lech Walesa's son, the story is proof only of one thing.

"It shows the Kaczynskis have no sense of humour," he said.

Must have hit too close to home: Jaroslaw's long been rumored to be a closet case.

Oregonian gays aren't the only ones getting organized.

As their parliamentary election rapidly approaching, Polish queens have compiled a list of political enemies.

Marek Ryszard and his allies have cataloged Poland's biggest meanings, including deputy minister Roman Giertych, who hopes to infuse his homophobic leanings into the nation's school systems.

The Polish government wants nothing to do with the gays. Education minister Roman Giertych's hellbent on squeezing queers out of school programs, the government attempted to ban gay pride (it didn't work) and President Lech Kaczynski worries faggotry will lead to devastating depopulation.

Considering all this anti-queer sentiment, it comes as no surprise to hear that hordes of homos are vacating Little Britain-hating Poland for Britain.

Not that we don’t love us those screaming queens that chuck pies at Ann Coulter and shout throughout her speeches, w e also approve of our gay brothers and sisters over in Poland who staged a massive protest against their president, Lech Kaczynski, but as soon as his speech began, they quieted down and remained respectful.

Kaczynski later spoke without interruption after one of the activists was permitted to speak from the podium. "He shares responsibility for violence against gays and lesbians," said Holger Wicht, editor of Siegessäule, a Berlin gay publication. "This person is an inciter. He is stirring up Catholicism, which leads to exclusion." Several protesters stood in the back and held placards while Kaczynski spoke but did not interrupt him, and there were no clashes with police or the Polish leader's entourage. Kaczynski had refused parade permits for gay rights marches during his tenure as mayor of Warsaw.

Of course, Kaczynski is a grade A homophobe so if we had been there, you can bet a pie would’ve been thrown. Actually one would have been eaten and another would have been thrown but you get the gist.

Gay activists protest speech by Polish president in Berlin [Advocate]

We continue our So Gay! feature with a list of some of the bad guys we faced this year. Most of the people who ended up on our list of Villains for 2005 turned out to be people directly responsible for our rights; politicians. And we found out at least one of them was secretly playing for our team!

5. James West. The Republican mayor of Spokane repeatedly voted against gay rights while in the Washington State Legislature. This year he suffered through a very public outing and a sex scandal that eventually brought him to his knees (pun intended). What’s that saying about Karma?

4. Stephen Bennett. A “former” fag, Bennett has “converted” and is now completely “hetero.” He and his “wife,” Irene, take to the airwaves every day and bitch about the homosexual agenda. ‘nuff said.

3. George W. Bush. What can we say about the man that hasn’t been said a million times before? Our own leader continues to fight for what he refers to as “traditional marriage.” Bush recently helped raise half a million bucks for Republican Marilyn “every day is a bad hair day” Musgrave the very woman who authored the failed gay marriage ban amendment. We just pray that one of the twins turns out to be a dyke.

2. Lech Kaczynski. Believe it or not, Poland elected a more homophobic leader this year than our own Dubya. Kaczynski’s very vocal homophobia and his recent banning of pride marches are pissing off the rest of the European Union. Oh, and he has a twin brother (also a politician) who hates The Gays just as much.

Who was biggest baddie of 2005? Find out after the jump.
