In a broadside aimed at Poland's populist government, EU chief Ursula von der Leyen warned that so-called LGBT-free zones have "no place in our union." "I will not rest when it comes to building a union of equality," the president of the European Commission vowed, in her annual State of the European Union speech. She called for "a union where you can be who you are and love who you want -- without fear of recrimination or discrimination. "Because being yourself is not your ideology. It's your identity. And no one can ever take it away. So I want to be crystal clear - LGBTQI-free zones are humanity free zones. And they have no place in our Union." dc/arp/wdb
