Right. From the article:

Having an intimate connection with Slavic culture, I can agree to this being the prevalent social sentiment.
- alkonaut 7y agoThe opinion that people should try to be gay "in private" (if they absolutely have to be gay) is of course extremely homophobic, and is exactly my point. If e.g. kissing in public risks you a punch, or if gay marriage isn't recognized etc - that's a sign that a country (or city) is homophobic.
- yakshaving_jgt 7y agoKissing in public in Poland generally doesn't risk you a punch. I don't know where you're getting that, though I understand it's a pretty common — though completely misguided — Western view. My local gay club is quite peaceful (though inside they all have a grand ol' time — it's by far one of the rowdiest gay clubs I've been to). In Slavic countries generally, who you have sex with is your own business. It's private. Nobody wants to know.
