The Black Eyed Peas showed solidarity with the LGBT community to ring in the new year — doing so on Polish territory … and on a state-sanctioned TV channel, no less.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

The music group was hired as the headlining gig for TVP’s “New Year’s of Dreams” show, and when they finally hit the stage … all 4 members came out wearing rainbow armbands. It seems they kept them on for a good while, too, as they went through their set.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

Of course, that sparked outrage among Poland’s Law and Justice Party (PiS), which is in power at the moment — and which has taken on very strong anti-LGBT views and policies … trickling throughout much of the country and embraced by several citizens as well.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

One such member of PiS, Marcin Warchol<\/strong>expressed his indignation at the BEP’s accessories, writing … “LGBT promotion in TVP2 . DISGRACE! It’s not a New Year’s Eve of Dreams but a New Year’s Eve of Deviance.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

The funny thing is that TVP is, more or less, a state broadcaster — they regularly air programming that aligns with PiS … and the Black Eyed Peas were presumably hired by someone working there\/with ties to the ruling party. So … this is kinda on them.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

will.i.am<\/strong> caught wind of the backlash and responded, writing … “#WHEREStheLOVE???
