Joe Biden condemns Poland's "LGBT-free zones" because "LGBTQ+ rights are human rights"

Joe Biden has condemned Poland’s “LGBT-free zones,” saying that they “have no place… anywhere in the world.”

Polish cities have been passing resolutions for the past two years declaring themselves “free of LGBT ideology” as homophobia intensifies in the Eastern European country. One-third of people in Poland are now estimated to live in an “LGBT-free zone.”

Last week, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said in her State of the Union address that “LGBT-free zones” are “humanity-free zones.”

“They have no place in our Union,” she said. “I will not rest when it comes to building a union of equality. A Union where you can be who you are and love who you want – without fear of recrimination or discrimination.”

While other world leaders have condemned the move reminiscent of Nazi Germany, Donald Trump continues to remain silent.

Are you shocked?! I know I am!
