A tolerance march in Poland erupted into violence as anti-gay protesters conntected to the government threw stones, brcks and eggs at gay marchers. The protesters, members of the All Poland Youth, held what they called a Tradition march according to the BBC. Marchers in the gay and lesbian Equality Days march attempted to change their route but were confronted by the youth marchers and attacked them causing dozens of injuries and some hospitalizations.

Poland is not known for their tolerance of gays which became painfully clear when they elected Lech Kaczynski, the outspoken anti-gay former Mayor of Warsaw, as their president last year. As mayor of Kaczynski twice banned a gay equality parade but allowed an anti-gay "normality parade and is infamous for calling homosexuality un-natural.

Shortly after being elected the European Commission warned that Poland could lose their voting rights in the EU in part because of Kaczynski's strong oppostion to gay gay rights protected by the EU's minority protection rules.
