Warsaw, Poland – A transsexual and
openly gay man are welcomed with open arms into the Polish
parliament.
Anna Grodzka is a member of Palikot's
Movement. It's a new progressive party which became the third-largest in parliament. She was born a man but had a sexchange. Sitting next to her was Robert Biedron, the first openly gay
person elected to Poland's parliament. He's also a member of
Palikot's Movement.
Later Grodzka said “It is a symbolic
moment, but we owe this symbolism not to me but to the people of
Poland because they made their choice. They wanted a modern Poland,
a Poland open to variety, a Poland where all people would feel good
regardless of their differences. I cannot fail them in their
expectations."
Poland's Prime Minister, Donald Tusk,
were among the people who shook Anna Grodzka's hand.
