Walesa, the democracy icon and Nobel peace prize winner, has sparked controversy and outrage in Poland by saying in a TV interview Friday, March 1, 2013, homosexuals have no right to a prominent role in politics and that as a minority they need to "adjust to smaller things" in society.

Biedron and Grodzka usually sit in the third row, but their parliamentary floor moved them to the prestigious front row in a sign of support for them. Walesa said last week that gays belong in the back rows of Parliament, or even “behind the wall.” Sitting at left is Leszek Miller.
