A deeply divided Poland chooses a president in runoff vote

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/a-deeply-divided-poland-chooses-a-president-in-runoff-vote/ar-BB16t8hp

Why post this here? Because this is the main issue:

Duda has made his opposition to LGBT rights a key campaign theme, while Trzaskowski signed a tolerance declaration last year that triggered a backlash against gay rights in the mostly Catholic country.

Duda has called LGBT rights an “ideology” more dangerous than communism, and on Monday he formally proposed a constitutional amendment to bar same-sex couples from adopting children.


Religion, specifically the Catholic Church's Homophobia is what is behind people voting for this fascist.
