A planned right of assembly is aimed against Pride parades and other demonstrations by lesbians and gays.
In front of the parliament in Warsaw, a crowd showed what they thought of the proposal.
Warsaw - Hundreds of people have protested in Poland's capital Warsaw against a planned ban on demonstrations for lesbians and gays.
At least 300 people gathered in front of parliament, as the daily newspaper "Gazeta Wyborcza" reported.
Many participants waved rainbow flags.
On banners it said, for example, "Love knows no gender".
Late in the evening, Parliament held a first reading on the proposed law.
There were also supporters of the design in front of the building.
The police separated the two sides.
The law
Specifically, the law is intended to prohibit demonstrators from questioning marriage between men and women and demanding that it be extended to people of the same sex.
In addition, according to the draft, demonstrations should not be used to promote the adoption of children by homosexual couples and for a "sexual orientation other than heterosexual".
This proposal is aimed primarily at the Pride parade and other demonstrations by the LGBT community.
The abbreviation stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.
"LGBT begins its march to power as the NSDAP began its march to power in the 1930s," said Krzysztof Kacprzak, who presented the legislative project to parliament for the Life and Family Foundation.
She had collected the 140,000 necessary signatures in advance.
“The LGBT movement wants to introduce terror.
We see that in the west. "

Kacprzak's statements were interrupted by heckling such as “hate speech!” And laughter from the opposition.
It was initially unclear whether the initiative would come through parliament.
Adoption could mean a new confrontation between Poland and the EU.
The human rights organization Amnesty International appealed to the MPs not to agree.
You should acknowledge "that love is love".
This proposal is hateful, discriminatory and restricts people's right to peaceful protest.
"Such restrictions are not acceptable."
Political propaganda against LGBT community
Many politicians from Poland's national conservative ruling party PiS are openly campaigning against the LGBT community.
Almost a hundred cities and regions have declared themselves "LGBT ideology-free" zones.
Most of them are in the strongly Catholic east and south of the country.
Most recently, several regions revoked this status after the EU Commission suspended negotiations on regional funding.

Driving a car as harmful as smoking?
Greenpeace campaign against advertising
In Hungary, a new law has been in force since June, according to which children are not allowed to have access to information about non-heterosexual lifestyles - be it in school lessons or through publications.
In addition, advertising that portrays homosexuals or transsexuals as part of normality is prohibited.
The EU Commission has therefore initiated infringement proceedings against Hungary.
