1/ #PleaseHelpPoland. Why? Because it& #39;s a country where it& #39;s illegal for same-sex couples to get married but legal for religious extremists to spread Nazi-like anti-LGBT propaganda that implies a link between being queer and pedophilia. Legal to call us rapists.
2/ #PleaseHelpPoland because here, in order to legally transition, trans people have to sue their own parents. Doesn& #39;t matter if you& #39;re an adult, doesn& #39;t matter if your parents hate you or died a long time ago. If it hinders your transition, too bad.
3/ #PleaseHelpPoland because a same-sex couple holding hands will trigger stares, insults and violence but if we destroy a car plastered with posters calling disease-spreading rapists we will be arrested.
4/ #PleaseHelpPoland because our far right government has turned the national media into a propaganda mouthpiece which continuosly and viciously attacks LGBT+ people, implying we are a foreign ideology. We have been called a threat to family, a threat to the nation and its core.
5/ #PleaseHelpPoland because religious extremists are infiltrating the government, the judiciary and the press. The future is looking bleak; more anti-LGBT legislation is regularly promised and since we are the enemy, anything that targets us results in more votes.
6/ #PleaseHelpPoland because 1/3 of the country has now been declared an & #39;LGBT-free zone& #39; in one form or another. There is no hate speech protection. No transgender medical care standards. Last year the police have thwarted a bomb attack on a Pride. Sentence: one year in prison.
7/ #PleaseHelpPoland because just today I have heard someone yell "Fuck rainbow scum" at me because I carried a rainbow bag. Within half an hour of sharing online, I saw two other people complain of similar situations that happened today. This is our norm now.
8/ #PleaseHelpPoland because we are scared this will not stop until we are dead.
