Run! It's a Pole

And I thought only us Indians were homophobes.
Ministers in the Polish government are so bloody scared of homosexuals, that they are trying to reform them. (Read original story on Guardian).
A man -- or woman's -- sexual preference is his or her own problem. (But show me a paedophile or a rapist and I'll beat him to death.) So why is it that people most people frown upon those who choose to make their own -- ummm, their own?
Let me drift for a moment to a discussion I had with fellow journalists over a round of drinks (and that was one huge round) at the watering hole called the Press Club of India. Is homosexuality natural, someone asked. Yes, homosexuality has been seen among animals, answered the other. I had read somewhere that hundreds of species practise homosexual behaviour (walruses, antelopes, bisons etc. etc. all indulge in gay sex -- lesbian behaviour has been seen among pairs of and Hanuman langurs and Japanese macaques).
Why, then, is the explanation for our repulsive behaviour towards homosexuals?
Well, I can give you one reason. There was this guy in my former office who was openly gay. I was a rookie sub and somehow this guy took a fancy for me. After talking to him a couple of times (when he asked me out for a drink at Maurya -- oh that scene was hilarious), I told him that I was fiercely heterosexual. But this guy just wouldn't back off. And believe me, I have met many more like him. And so has Sonu Nigam (gay magnets? Shit!).
But the poor Polish. They are having to run away in hordes to the UK to escape the government's plans to "reform" them. They are working on a set of "behavioural guides to assist parents and teachers so that they can recognise any warning signs of potential 'gay behaviour'."
Poland has been raped by one and all in the past. Remember the Nazis? They carried out the most horrific acts in history by murdering around 1.1 million people in Aushwitz, Poland. Most of the victims were Jews who were either gassed or confined in ratholes without water and food. There was very little oxygen going round in these ratholes. Sometimes, the odd German soldier would light a match just to suck out al the oxygen and leave the poor souls to die.
Nazis also systematically murdered thousands of German homosexuals in this camp of horrors.
BTW, I read somewhere that the Brits started the concentration camps and the Nazis just imported the concept. It was in the Boer War, I think. Anybody has any light to throw on that aspect?
