POLAND, June 19, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The Polish newspaper “Rzeczpospolita”, a major conservative Polish daily, has caused a commotion among homosexualist groups in the country by running a cartoon in its paper edition on Monday, June 15. The cartoon shows two men getting “married” in the background, while in the foreground a man tells a goat, “We'll just wait until these two gentlemen get married and then it's our turn.” (see the cartoon here)
“We were used to the homophobia of your paper, but this time the border of rudeness has been crossed,” said Homiki.pl, a homosexualist website in a letter to the editor of Rzeczpospolita. “We demand an apology on the pages of your paper. We have our dignity and we also deserve respect.”
The letter also threatens Rzeczpospolita with lawsuits, saying, “Let us remind you that in 2006, at a court in Poznañ, four lesbians forced city council members to apologize for comparing homosexuality to zoophilia.”
The cartoon was drawn by Andrzej Krauze, a Polish cartoonist living in the UK. Upon learning of the threats from the pro-homosexual groups, he laughed, saying, “This only proves that the cartoon message was correct and that I was able to represent the whole absurdity of so-called civil unions.”
He also pointed out that many countries have registered associations of zoophiles and pedophiles that wish to have their perversions legalized. “I am sure that in coming years, some of these groups, especially animal lovers will achieve their goals,” Krauze said.
The reference may be to a registered Dutch political party called PNVD, a Dutch acronym that translates into “brotherly love, freedom and diversity,” whose party planks consist of working towards the legalization and acceptance of pedophilia, pornography, bestiality and easy availability of soft/hard drugs.
The party also lobbies for private possession of child pornography, the right of children to smoke, drink and vote at the age of 12, to use “soft” drugs like marijuana at 12 and “hard drugs” like cocaine and heroin at 16.

LifeSiteNews.com has also reported in the past on the encroachment of the approval of bestiality into the mainstream, and the rise of bestiality in jurisdictions that have embraced homosexual “marriage.” Bestiality has in recent years been explicitly endorsed by well-known Princeton “bioethicist” Peter Singer and by PETA.

Krauze says he does not fear any legal repercussions because of his cartoon: “I live and work in the UK. Here, satirical cartoons, with the exception of those pertaining to Muslims, are treated like satire, not a battlefield,” said the artist.
Other Polish journalists have reacted to the tizzy created by the cartoon, writing satirical essays and poking fun at the homosexualists who are threatening legal action against the newspaper.
Well-known opinion journalist Maciej Rybinski published a mock letter to the editor in today's Rzeczpospolita, impersonating a female goat who is offended by the cartoon, because it suggests that human-goat sexual relationships are homosexual in nature.
Rybinski writes:
“Dear Editor in Chief
“It was with outrage that I myself and our whole community saw the cartoon by Andrzej Krauze published in RZECZPOSPOLITA. To suggest that shegoats in stable relations with men should have any homosexual tendencies is a scandal, an offence and slander. Putting an equation sign between gays and goats is a testimony to the author's ignorance and bad will.
“Leading sexologists have long ago established that relations between female goats and men -inter-species sexual relations – are heterosexual in nature. Such relations have a long historical tradition and are mentioned in the oldest written sources, including the Bible. To ridicule them is barbaric obscuration and backwardness.
“Also in our community, sex between male goats and men is treated as an abuse of the norm, at least a promiscuous perversion. That's why we think that mixed human-goat marriages, as opposite-sex institutions, are in accordance with nature. To consider them equal or even worse to homosexual marriages is irresponsible and reprehensible.
“Your paper has discredited itself by publishing this image hostile to goats. I regret to inform you that the Association of Liberated Goats has made a decision to eat up the whole circulation of the incriminated issue of RZECZPOSPOLITA, at the same time reserving the right to pursue legal action. We also have the support of sheep on this issue.
“Regretfully and without respect to you, shegoat Mecka from Polonina”
