Fault could then be placed on non-hetersexual people for "voluntarily" participating in acts that would get them hurt, thus it would be their fault for not getting the help, or "spiritual motivation," to become heterosexual.

The political agenda of the League of Polish Families is very similar to that of the National Socialist party in Germany before WWII, it's pure fascism full of hate and intolerance toward anything that is not a good christian heterosexual ethnic polish. They even proposed an EU-wide ban of homosexuality and that Christianity be declared the official religion of the EU, that shows how delusional they are, they are even worse than the French National Front, it's complete madness that such a party is in a ruling government.
The worst for Poland is that the extremist positions of the current government has completely discredited Polish representatives in EU institutions, few people listen to their intolerant rantings. Anyway, those new Polish laws, if they are voted and enforced, will violate many EU regulations and there will be consequences for Poland.

Dollar falls to record euro low
The dollar has fallen to a new all-time low against the euro after data showed that US economic growth disappointed in the first three months of the year.
The 1.3% first quarter economic expansion - the slowest pace for four years - pushed the greenback down 45 cents to $1.3658 in Friday trade.
Analysts predict the US currency will fall further on renewed expectations of interest rate cuts to support growth.
The pound strengthened against the dollar, still trading above $2.
Tainted
US GDP figures were tainted by lower exports and widespread problems in the world's biggest economy's housing market.
"I think we're going to see 1.38 [euros to the dollar] without too much trouble here," said Joe Trevisani, chief market analyst at FX Solutions, in Saddle River, New Jersey.
On the other hand, the upward momentum in the European single currency is being bolstered by strong economic growth in the 13-member eurozone.
The euro also reached a record peak against the Japanese yen, hitting 162.88 after the data was released.
