Breaking News -- Trouble flairs at Euro Pride.

Breaking news from Warsaw,  Poland.

Reports are filtering in that Polish police   have had to use batons to push back  some of the anti- gay protesters at  today's  EuroPride gay parade in Warsaw.


Thousands of gay men, lesbians and our supporters  marched in the Polish capital,  there were several counter  demonstrations by nationalist groups who threw eggs  and have caused the police to intervene with batons.

Marchers waved the rainbow-coloured gay pride flag and banners demanding legal rights for same-sex partnerships.    Some danced atop of trucks to dance and techno music  while  others  got in the spirit by wearing bunny ears and feathers.

However, some demonstrators attempted to stop the parade, and threw eggs at its participants. Police intervened and used batons to push back a crowd of protesters.

Anti gay religious groups cried out "No to Sodom and Gomorrah," and tried to hand out bibles.
