I found the picture above, showing some Polish youths setting fire to the controversial rainbow frame at Plac Zbawiciela during a Patriots' March on Indepensence Day last Sunday. Of course, this action was routinely condemned as wanton vandalism or hooliganism on the part of Polish Nationalist youths, but an important question remains of what might've prompted the youths concerned to burn the rainbow frame as they did, and why flowers are now being placed inside the rainbow frame:
Could it be that some of the youths viewed the rainbow frame as a symbol of Western politically 'correct' imperialism? In Poland, there is some deeply felt fear about politically 'correct' ideology being imposed on Polish society, as the failure of Western multiculturalist experimentation is clear to see (acknowledged by Angela Merkel, amongst others, of course).
Having said this, after speaking to quite a few Poles, very few of them seem to be aware that the rainbow, as a symbol, has been hijacked by the gay rights lobby and other politically 'correct' causes in the West. Thus, the burning of the rainbow frame at Plac Zbawiciela remains something of a riddle for me.
All in all, just can't understand why a Western-style rainbow symbol has been stuck up in the middle of Warsaw.
