‘The LGBT and gender movement threaten our identity, threaten our nation, threaten the Polish state.’
Jaroslaw Kaczynski
Warszawa, 25.04.2019







I come from
Jugowice,
a small
village in the
Owl Mountains,
south-western
Poland.
Homosexuality was
decriminalised in
Poland in 1932 and
since that time, the
ultra-conservative
government, traditional
Christian beliefs and
the increased wave of
nationalism has led to a
suppression of the
LGBT community.

‘“The red plague no longer stalks the earth. But this does not mean that we don’t have a new one which is trying to occupy our souls, hearts and minds .... a rainbow coloured plague.’
Archbishop Marek Jedraszewski
Krakow, 01.08.2019


LGBT people
continue to
experience various
forms of
oppression,
rejection,
harassment,
violence and
discrimination
throughout the
world, despite the
social, legal, and
political advances
that have been
launched in an
attempt to grant them
basic human rights.

‘“
‘It is legitimate and necessary to ask oneself if [homosexuality] is not perhaps part of a new ideology of evil, perhaps more insidious and hidden, which attempts to pit human rights against the family and man.’
John Paul II
‘Memory and Identity’ 2005






The abuse of power and religion in Poland
by its governing party promotes disgust,
hatred, homophobia and anti-affirmation of LGBT.
I am Polish, Catholic, patriot and gay,
yet without perspectives of a future
in my native country
where freedom of self-expression,
tolerance and fundamental human rights.
