WARSAW (Reuters) - When a rival candidate in Poland's presidential election campaign placed the LGBT community's rainbow flag on Rafal Trzaskowski's lectern during a debate, the liberal frontrunner and patron of recent Warsaw Pride marches quickly took it down.
"Recently he has been running away from these symbols," said Trzaskowski's opponent, Karol Nawrocki, a conservative historian backed by the nationalist Law and Justice (PiS) party.
