Poland’s ruling party has seized on LGBTQ issues to mobilize its right-wing supporters ahead of the EU and national elections this year. The Law and Justice party views LGBTQ-friendly programs as a threat to traditional Polish values, with the party's leader, Jarosław Kaczyński, saying they represent "an attack on the family, and an attack conducted in the worst possible way, because it’s essentially an attack on children." Kaczyński singled out Warsaw's 12-point LGBT+ rights declaration, which provides services like finding shelter for children thrown out of the house by homophobic parents.
