I came across an article that highlighted Poland as the worst country for LGBTQ+ individuals within the EU. It stuck with me, and I couldn’t shake it off. Motivated by this, I decided to visit Warsaw and shine a light on 7 brave persons who stay true to themselves despite the hatred around them.
The officially launch of the zine is on 28 June during International Pride Month 2024. 🏳️🌈

– ”Despite all challenges, there are moments that warm my heart. Once, during a holiday, I heard something very nice from another uncle. He expressed his appreciation for me, acknowledging that it’s not easy to be different. He shared that when he was young, he was also very homophobic. He used to go to Plac Zbawiciela in Warsaw, which is a very gay-friendly area, to be aggressive and even violent towards LGBTQ+ people. However, he’s very regretful of his past actions, and he’s changed his mind. Now, he greatly admires me because I’m true to myself and unafraid.”
The zines are amassed with hand stitch coptic binding.
