Hi moots! If you see #jestemLGBT on your tl please know this is a Polish hashtag ("I am LGBT"). There is Polish MP who has publicly claimed that gay couples who adopt do so in order to sex*ally har*ss children (adoption by same-sex couples is illegal here).
A court case against her was just dismissed on May 27th because the judge claimed the prosecution couldn& #39;t prove they were gay (if I understand it right it was claimed they couldn& #39;t sue on the basis of targeted harassment. If it doesn& #39;t make sense it& #39;s because it doesn& #39;t).
In February a third of the local authorities in Poland declared their municipalities "LGBT-free" zones whatever the fuck that means it means in legal terms, it& #39;s not quite clear yet but it legitimates hate speech and targeted harassment in public spaces. https://balkaninsight.com/2020/02/25/a-third-of-poland-declared-lgbt-free-zone/">https://balkaninsight.com/2020/02/2...
@KPH_official @lambda_warszawa @LGBTpl @queerpl @GrupaStonewall @milosc_ @trans_fuzja are a handful of organisations advocating for LGBT rights in Poland. They share some posts in English, if you have means please consider supporting.
There& #39;s no petitions to share or other hashtags to trend, I just wanted to post this for my non-Polish moots in case #jestemLGBT pops on your timeline and you& #39;re confused about what is going on. Might be updating this thread with more links if the case gets more intl coverage.
