Lgbt Community: Pulawy and Lgbt-Free Zones

lgbt community: The Nieuwegein City Council called on the municipal executive council to sever ties on July 13 after becoming aware of recent reports on the treatment of members of the LGBT community in Pulawy, according to CTV. In Nieuwegein everyone is allowed to be who he or she is, regardless of his or her sexual orientation, gender, religion or ethnic origin, said alderman Marieke Schouten. Nieuwegein, a city near Utrecht in central Netherlands, released a statement announcing the immediate end to its friendly relationship with the Polish city of Pulawy on Wednesday. LGBT-free zones like Pulawy are really unacceptable as far as we're concerned. However, local authorities in Pulawy did not reply, the statement added. Nieuwegein council was made aware of Pulawy's declaration in January, said the statement, and sent a letter to its counterpart in the spring to express its concern. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
