From: "Marek Szymczyk" Date: Fri, 25 Nov 1994 10:40:57 CET PAP (Polish Press Agency) published in a press service dated on 94.11.17 draft results of public opinion survey made by DEMOSKOP institute. The survey was made on a representative probe of Polish society (958 persons on age above 15) on 14-17 October '94. There was only one question concerning equal or unequal treatment of lesbians and gays, Jews, Gipsies and former communists comparatively to the rest of Polish population. More than 50% of respondents think that homosexuals are dealt worse than other and 3% has an opposite opinion. Results are: WORSE EQUAL BETTER Lesbians & gays >50% 22% 3% Jews 29% 46% 11% Gipsies 50% 32% 7% Former communists 22% 48% 17% =========================================================== These results are confusing a little comparing them to results of survey on social acceptance of homosexuality in Poland made by CBOS on June '94. It seems that our society is intolerant (results of CBOS survey) and is fully aware of that (results of DEMOSKOP)! Is there anybody who can explain that? Do you have any concepts? Marek
