The Tyranny of the Majority. Gays in Poland - Wendelmoet Boersema

Prominent Polish gays are pursuing a new solidarity struggle. They call themselves ‘love
dissidents’ fighting for a tolerant climate. Poles have become more nationalistic and
they make life difficult for gays. ‘When I was an adolescent in the Poland of the eighties,
homosexuality was a regular topic of conversation during sex education classes. If I had
been young in today’s Poland, I would have felt as if I was judged and that I immediately
had to take a political point of view.’
