On the other hand plenty of gay people live peacefully Krakow (cludg some iends of me) and plenty of gay tourists vis whout any problems. There is a gay muny, some gay-iendly clubs etc.

It all functns more discreetly than the Wt, there are sometim some homophobic cints but overall Krakow is not much different om any other European cy. Krakow IS different to other European ci wh regards the gay muny. In England we have annual event lled "pri" where gay, bi-sexual and straight people all party and the occur many ci whout major cints occurrg.

In Krakow, if there is a pro gay march takg place 100+ rt police, police rt vans and a police helipter are ployed to protect those the march om 100+ thugs who want to attack them. OP has not asked about takg part gay pri or siar events, rather about what n be expected durg a standard tourist trip. I agree that takg part a pro-gay march Poland sadly means a risk of beg attacked by ultra-natnalists and football rowdi.

Agreed they won't be attendg a pro gay march but the OP asked if Krakow is gay iendly.

What I wrote dit krakow is not as gay iendly as the UK and I agree. Some years ago I got to a b of a suatn Krakow due to the cloth I was wearg and havg red highlights my hair as some lol men wanted to fight me as they believed I was gay. Ps not very gay "iendly" if a a gay uple n't show any affectn public is ?

It's "gay iendly" as long as you don't look or act gay public is my experience.

Robert Biedron, Poland’s first openly gay MP, tak the oath of office 2011 next to Poland’s first trans puty, Anna Grodzka. It was 2007, years before Vladimir Put supposedly veloped a ncern for the fate of Rsia’s children, when the Polish ernment openly discsed stutg s own anti-homosexualy law. Edutn Mister Roman Giertych proposed banng the discsn of homosexualy schools, wh school admistrators, teachers, or pupils who disobeyed the directive liable to dismissal, a fe, or even imprisonment.

The aim, Giertych said, was to “prohib the promotn of homosexualy and other vianc. That year, Poland was the grip of anti-gay hysteria and a state-sponsored mpaign of LGBTQ persecutn. Wh the health mistry tent on creatg a special mtee rponsible for “curg” gays, police pilg a database on gays and the gay muny, and the ombudsman for children preparg a list of jobs unf for homosexuals, thoands of LGBTQ Pol took advantage of their EU cizenship and left for the Uned Kgdom.

In 2007, Robert Biedron, who at the time was print of the Campaign Agast Homophobia, known Polish as KPH, said, “It’s impossible for gays to be themselv Poland. Wng an albe most 40 seats the 460-seat Sejm, the lower hoe of the Polish parliament, Biedron beme the first openly gay MP Poland and Anna Grodzka the send trans MP Europe (after Italy’s Vladi Luxuria).

When there is a discsn of gay or trans issu on televisn, a member of an LGBTQ anisatn like KPH or Lambda Warszawa will be ved to participate, but so will a Catholic prit.
