Mayor of Gdansk, Aleksandra Dulkiewicz , during the 7th Tricity Equality March in Gdansk, Poland, on 28 May 2022.Thousands of Poles marched to demand an end to homophobia on Saturday, as the northern port city of Gdansk hosted its seventh annual Equality March under the slogan "we have the power".

According to organisers, the march was a peaceful demonstration of equality, freedom, diversity in social, economic and political life.Gay rights are a highly divisive issue in predominantly Catholic Poland, and the country's ruling nationalists have made battling what they term LGBTIQ+ "ideology" a key plank of election campaigns in recent years.

A handful of protesters opposed to the march looked on holding Catholic rosary beads and a banner alleging that the LGBTIQ+ "lobby" sought to sexualise children."I am not against homosexuals, these are just ordinary people like us," said a protester who gave her name as Margaret. "But I don't want them to get to our children."
