Our Declaration
We are LGBTQIA+ persons and allies who organise marches for equal rights of all people
regardless of sexual orientation and gender identity in our local communities. We share a
strong belief that building a united voice across divisions, particularly one including the
situation of LGBTQIA+ persons outside of major urban centres, will be a real step toward
achieving equality in Poland.
We believe that the groups, communities, and societies we live in rely on people’s diversity:
the diversity of individuals' skills, experiences, and identities. Through the power of diversity,
we can achieve our aspirations as individuals and successfully deal with challenges that none
of us would be able to tackle alone.
Similarly, the LGBTQIA+ rights movement reflects not only the calls for the freedom of
individuals to live in accordance with their identities, to be able to safely satisfy their needs
related to sexual and family life, or to not pursue them, in harmony with who they are and
without facing social stigma. We want to prevent our society from wasting opportunities by
failing to benefit from the activities of individuals, simply because they do not conform to
imposed models of functioning. We believe that our society would be much richer if we still
had with us those who have not endured inhumane treatment by haters and indifference
from those whose role should be to stand up for them.
