A Polish city celebrated its first-ever LGBTQ equality march, but it struck a starkly different tone to the joyous affairs associated with pride parades
Ringed by riot police, around 1,000 pride marchers walked defiantly through the streets of the northeastern city of Bialystok as thousands of nationalist football"ultra" fans, far-right groups and others threw flash bombs, rocks and glass bottles. As counter-protesters yelled"God, honor and motherland" and"Bialystok free of perverts," the pride marchers chanted"Poland free of fascists" in return.
The picnic had bouncy castles, folk musicians and the local army regiment exhibiting its artillery. CNN approached Kosicki, who is from PiS, for an interview, but he declined. PiS and the government also ignored repeated requests for comment by CNN. Minutes later, more flash bangs were heard in the near distance, set off by far-right groups outside the complex as they attempted to block pride marchers from proceeding any further.The march ended soon after 5 p.m.
