Walesa, the deeply religious former president of post-Communist Poland, was speaking during an interview on Saturday broadcast by news channel TVN 24 in which he was asked about homosexual rights.
Asked where homosexuals should sit in the parliamentary chamber, he said: "No minority should climb all over the majority. Homosexuals should even sit behind a wall, and not somewhere at the front.
"They must know they are a minority and adapt themselves to smaller things."

In a previous TV Interview in 1993 he outed Poland's Prime Minister, Jarolslaw Kaczynski.
It's a sign of how Poland has changed - and that Walesa is now yesterday's man - that another conservative (!) politician has reported him for incitement to hatred, and he made his comment because its parliament now has both an openly gay and a trans politician.
PS Warsaw is a very beautiful city - rebuilt by the Soviets after the Nazis razed it to the ground - with some lovely people and some nice gay and gay-friendly venues, and a very interesting underground scene - in my experience all young Poles are either devoted Catholics or anarchists.
Mini travel feature there.
You're welcome!
