Gay and Lesbian groups have called on the Polish President to withdraw remarks attacking gay culture as a threat to the survival of the human race.

Gay and Lesbian groups have called on the Polish President, Lech Kaczynski, to withdraw remarks he made earlier today attacking gay culture as a threat to the survival of the human race.

During a debate at the Forum on Europe in Dublin, Mr Kaczynski said 'homosexual culture' should not be promoted as an alternative.

Meanwhile, the Dáil has been debating a private members' bill which would give full legal recognition to same sex unions.

An amendment introduced by the Government would have the measure deferred for six months.
