WARSAW, Poland – Openly gay MP Robert Biedroń told police that a homophobic man attacked him and a group of friends who had just attending the city’s Equality Parade on Saturday.

Biedroń marched in the parade along with several thousand other participants. The Equality Parade called for equal rights, including civil unions for gay and lesbian couples. Parliament MPs had blocked a debate on civil unions earlier this year.

After the parade, Biedroń and his friends went to a café, where they were confronted by an angry man. He told Polsat News:

Ed Breeding is as rugged as the mountains in New Mexico, his adopted home. As a painter, he has a fascination with native populations, particularly American Indian culture. Lately, Breeding has been focused on making documentaries, including his first that profiles gay men who are atypical of those often pictured in mainstream media.
