I feel good about the way Poland has stepped up to support Ukraine during Russia’s invasion. But sometimes I see stuff like this and I am ashamed. And I’m happy I live in the US where the First Amendment forbids banning speech just because it offends someone’s feelings. https://notesfrompoland.com/2023/04/21/court-convicts-women-for-offending-religious-feelings-with-rainbow-virgin-mary-at-lgbt-march/
