Poland to Legalise Civil Unions

News

Despite rampant opposition from conservatives, Poland is moving towards legalising commitment ceremonies for the LGBT community.

The legislation will be passed by Poland’s ruling centre-right party, Platforma Obywatelska.

Although the East European country has no plans to legalise gay marriage, such steps have been seen as a significant move towards equality for the Polish LGBT community.

The new bill fails to introduce adoption rights for same-sex couples; plans to develop equal tax laws for gay de facto couples have also been scrapped.

The bill has been opposed by Polish Justice Minister Jaroslaw Gowin – who believes the Civil Unions will undermine the institute of marriage.
