Where's respect for the feelings of people who think homosexuals should have no rights, or should be imprisoned or should be executed? Whatever happened to the tolerance of HATRED? Where’s the acceptance for condemnation of human beings for daring to be born gay?

Where’s respect for the feelings of people who think homosexuals should have no rights, or should be imprisoned or should be executed?

Whatever happened to the tolerance of HATRED?

But where's te tollerance and acceptation for others thoughts and feelings? It's our point of view so we've got the rights to boycott. It's our consumer law, one of primal.

Human nature. What I don't get is the hatred - it's neither necessary nor productive. And it hardly is consistent with Love thy Brother. Whatever. I applaud IKEA for recognizing that all families have inherent worth and dignity. While I don’t agree with condemning others, I do understand not understanding lifestyles different from your own.

The consumer boycott campaign has evoked a significant response from the media. The catalogue with the homosexual "family" has outraged Catholics in the whole Poland. The campaign of sending protests to IKEA is in progress. The response is strong. The biggest Polish daily newspapers and Internet portals inform about the campaign and Catholics issue appeals for boycotting IKEA on catholic and right-wing websites. "I would not like to cease doing shopping in IKEA but if the firm does not stop promoting homosexual relationships, I will, unfortunately, feel compelled to do so and I will notify about it all the people I know so that they do the same", writes in her letter one of the outraged customers of IKEA. What does IKEA have to say about it? "Homosexualism is one of the essential elements of living in contemporary society", says Karolina Horoszczak, the spokesperson for the chain. She announces that the company will not withdraw the catalogue and that Catholics' protests are of no significance to the company. "Such treatment of catholic customers is unacceptable. This is trampling on catholic moral values and on our faith", says one of the participants of the protest from the Fronda.pl portal. "Treating single-sex relationships on a par with married couples is impermissible", concludes Grzegorz Górny, the editor-in-chief of "Fronda" quarterly. The IKEA's publication is a promotion of a particular style of living, which does not deserve public propagation. This is connected with the strategy of accustoming people to homosexual relationships and then of legalising such relationships. This is done to establish their picture in society as equal and then to legalise them. Polish Catholics have shown that they are able to fight for Christian values. They have said NO to moral decay. Without respecting these values, IKEA puts itself at risk of being perceived in Poland as a firm that poses a threat to the Christian understanding of a family and, therefore, of being unwelcome in numerous Polish homes.
