Introducing the Guest of his Evening show, host Wojciech Szelag told two activists, Bart Staszewski and Maja Heban: "LGBT+ people are not an ideology, but people: specific names, faces, loved ones and friends.

"All these people should hear the words, 'I'm sorry,' from this place today."

Wojciech Szelag said that LGBT people had been targeted for "years" by "hateful words".

The channel, TVP Info, was criticised as a mouthpiece of the previous governing Law and Justice (PiS) party.

But pro-EU Prime Minister Donald Tusk, who came to power in December, has overseen changes to the broadcaster.
