Poland’s governing party has reprimanded a lawmaker in its ranks for an anti-gay remark and moved to punish him.
Tomasz Tomczykiewicz, Civic Platform’s parliamentary leader, condemned the recent remarks by Robert Wegrzyn, calling them “stupid” and “irresponsible.” He filed a formal complaint demanding that Wegrzyn be punished and fined.
Wegrzyn apologized for the remark, in which he criticized the prospect of marriage among men but said he’d “gladly watch” lesbians.
He said he is not homophobic, but conceded that the remark was sexist.
He could be fined up to 1,000 Polish zlotys ($350).
