When Jakub Baryla heard that there was going to be an LGBT pride march in his town in Poland, he got an idea: to stand up for his Catholic faith by protesting with a crucifix.
At first, he was too scared to act on his idea, but according to Jakub,
“When I saw a wonderful picture of the Virgin Mary with a rainbow halo I decided that I had to come back to my idea.”
The 15-year-old who is a self-proclaimed “Catholic, traditionalist, conservative and patriot” proudly stood in the way of the gay pride marchers while holding a cross over his head.
This prompted the police to respond, who told him to leave.
But, Jakub stood his ground,
“I said I couldn’t do it because the participants of the march are destroying my Catholic faith and profaning the Polish flag by placing a rainbow on it.”
He was then carried off by the police, still holding the crucifix high.
