The United States isn't the only country where bigots love exclusionary slogans.

Gazeta Polska, a conservative weekly news magazine in Poland, plans to distribute “LGBT-free zone” stickers to readers in its next issue, BBC News reports. The stickers show a rainbow flag with a black “X” through it.

The far-right nationalist publication supports the conservative Law and Justice Party (PiS), the largest party in Poland’s Parliament, which is anti-LGBTQ and anti-immigrant. Gazeta Polska announced its sticker giveaway via social media, which was met with swift backlash.

“I am disappointed and concerned that some groups use stickers to promote hatred and intolerance,” Georgette Mosbacher, U.S. Ambassador to Poland, tweeted. “We respect freedom of speech, but we must stand together on the side of values such as diversity and tolerance.”

"Freedom means that I respect your views and you respect mine," Gazeta Polska editor Tomasz Sakiewicz responded. "We oppose only the imposition of views by force. Being a gay movement activist does not make anyone more tolerant.”

After Instagram flagged and removed a photo of the "LGBT-free zone" sticker photo as hate speech, Sakiewicz reportedly told Niezalezna that “censorship was typical of Nazism, imposing ideology, too,” comparing the modern LGBTQ rights movement to gay Nazi leader Ernst Röhm.

Paweł Rabiej, Warsaw's deputy mayor, plans to file a complaint about Gazeta Polska with the local prosecutor’s office. “German fascists created Jew-free zones,” he tweeted. “Apartheid, of black. As you can see this tradition finds worthy followers, this time in Poland.”

"This is fascism officially introduced in Poland," tweeted Polish actress and columnist Paulina Młynarska. "What’s next? Rainbow armbands? Camps?"

While homosexuality is legal in Poland, anti-LGBTQ attitudes and violence are prevalent in the conservative and largely Catholic European nation, where same-sex marriage is still banned. Poland’s hate speech laws do not include sexual orientation.

Polish city Kielce held its first LGBTQ rights march last weekend, but "the music could barely drown out the boos from bystanders," The Washington Post reports.

Paweł Jabłoński, adviser to Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, says any “LGBT-free” declarations in Poland have “no actual meaning in terms of regulations.”

“I think that Poland will be a region free from LGBT,” said PiS representative Elzbieta Kruk earlier this year while running for a European Parliament seat. “I hope it will be.”

PiS co-founder and current leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski has called LGBTQ rights an imported "threat to Polish identity, to our nation."

A recent public opinion poll conducted by Ipsos found 56% of Poles did not oppose civil partnerships, up 4% from two years ago. Most are still opposed to same-sex couples adopting, however, with only 18% saying they were supportive.
