Content
According to the book, the key to winning the "war" against LGBT is to employ the language used by the LGBT. The book advocates use of "jester" (wesołek) insead of "gay" (gej), "self-female" ("autosamica") instead of "feminist", "retreat" (odwrotek) instead of transgendered. Accusations of homophobia should be dismissed with the claim that heteronormal are the victims of "heterophobia".[9]
According to Chodakiewicz: "I wrote this book because it is important for Poles to know what awaits them if they do not oppose the civilization of death. I saw with my own eyes how LGBT, gender, and feminism emerged from the underground and was gradually embraced in American politics: introducing a new version of Marxism that I call Marxism-Lesbianism."[6] This statement was added to the description of the book at online bookstores.[3]
Lecture controversy
In July 2019, the book engendered controvesy and propelled Chodakiewicz to fame when the Institute of National Remembrance hosted Chodakiewicz for a talk on the book at the Warsaw Janusz Kurtyka IPN Educational Center. Chodakiewicz , who usually resides in the United States, was on a trip to Poland to promote his book.[10][5][6][7] The meeting was moderated by Najwyższy Czas! editor Tomasz Sommer.[3]
In the talk, Chodakiewicz described the urban legend of gerbilling as factual. Chodakiewicz stated that in 1984 his ex-girlfriend Debbie, who was a registered nurse, extracted a hamster smeared in fat from the anus of a gay man. Chodakiewicz said that the claws and teeth of the hamster were removed prior to this episode. [10][5][7][4][11] According to Chodakiewicz, gerbilling was a response to the AIDS epidemic.[4]
For over an hour, Chodakiewicz told additional homophobic conspiracy theories.[4][12] Polish historian Sławomir Cenckiewicz said he was shocked at the speech, in particular the talk of "feces, sperm and blood" and homosexuals.[13][7] Contrasting lesbians to gays, Chodakiewicz said that lesbians are much "calmer" while gays in San Francisco, including Chodakiewicz's colleagues, have on average 350 sexual partners a year, with some even reaching 1,000 partners.[7] Chodakiewicz also spoke on the "ideology of Marxism-lesbianism".[7] Chodakiewicz contrasted "homosexual ideology" to Communism and Nazism, saying they are a fifth column in Poland and receive cash from abroad.[8]
Małgorzata P. Bonikowska, editor-in-chief of Polish-Canadian newspaper Gazeta, writes that she does not recall anything as vulgar and repulsive as Chodakiewicz's lecture. Bonikowska's questions the mental stability of Chodakiewicz as such obscene language is not normal in the academic community. Bonikowska notes that Chodakiewicz is associated with Patrick Henry College, a conservative christian institution, and only holds the rank of adjunct professor. Furthermore, the college is associated with the Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools, teaches that the bible is God's infallible word, and requires students and faculty to sign a "declaration of faith" against Satan. Faculty is also required to sign the "Statement of the biblical worldview" which espouses creationism and sees homosexuality as a sin.[14]
The IPN, which initially declined to comment,[6] eventually responded to queries saying that prof. Chodakiewicz's views are not an official position of the IPN. According to the IPN, the purpose of the meeting was to discuss Chodakiewicz's latest book; both Chodakiewicz and Sommer had collaborated with the IPN previously.[3][8]
