BEG GAY WARSAW? - WARSAW FOM

Harsh sentiments, but not nearly as malignant as the on voiced by LPR polician Wojciech Wierzejski, whose memorable rants reasoned ‘gays should be bludgeoned… they are all paedophil and members of the mafia’ roads to bigotry are beg ma.

In 2004 Poland had s first gay weddg (not officially regnised), and the followg year Warsaw’s public transport body beme the first pany to officially acknowledge homosexual relatnships by givg gay employe and their partners the right to ee transport.

For gays Poland the road ahead remas a long one, but for a untry that still listed homosexualy as a disease up until 1991 the natn has already started utly edgg forward. I’m a High school senr and i’m thkg about studyg psychology at the universy of warsaw after my graduatn and one big issue which mak me doubt is that i’m gay. I’m om Swen where gay people hold hands public and there are lots of gay celebri and there is no secret that poland is a b more nservative so i want to know how ’s like beg gay warsaw.

WARSAW GAY PRI

Warsaw is really receptive cy the same when to people, probably no one will react negative for Gay Warsaw, Warsaw universy is really good perspective also polish culture and food are really good, as a gay you would have problems only small villag.. But not Ci like Warsaw e on Poland is beatiful and polish people are really happy pecially gays;) I have gay iends Poland and they don't have any problems soo Pierogi are wag for u! The Polish gay and lbian scene is fairly discreet; Warsaw and Kraków are the bt plac to fd bars, clubs and gay-iendly acmodatn, and Sopot is noted as gay-iendly pared to the rt of Poland.

And wh those chang has been the gradual rise of gay life Warsaw, another sort of phoenix emergg om the gray opprsn of past munism and ever-prent Catholicism. Given the nse air of sanctimony Poland’s culture ’s perhaps no small irony that one of Warsaw’s biggt and loust gay dis/bars is lled Paradise.

But once si (weekend ver change is $2) this bland unappealg stcture is transformed to a monumental sound and light palace packed wh hundreds of Warsaw’s lbigay youth gyratg to a afeng beat of dance mic. Such a place was impossible unr munism and even now the face of high relig and social homophobia Poland, Paradise is well named for the eedom of exprsn, however rtraed, offers to the new generatn of Polish gay youth. There are other diss and dance bars Warsaw, of urse, but not all—probably most—gay and lbian Varsovians (Warsaw rints) go to such wild and thunro venu.

Doctor Edward add wh a srnful tone, “bis there are so many gay people the clergy here they know better than to try and exprs anti-gay attus.

Even many non-gays who support gay rights thk is too much of a stra to see stumed and bare-chted gays the streets blowg kiss and wavg rabow flags.

I suggted that fifteen years (sce 1989) is not so slow for a gay para to e about and both of our hosts acknowledged that the past three years there has been more gay prsure to speak out and be seen, although the ia of gay marriage Poland is a long way off. As a palpable tt to this proclaimed tolerance and laissez-faire attus central Warsaw today, there is a well-known gay sna (sex club) on the ground floor of the same apartment block that ho the predomantly heterosexual neighbors of the Edwards. Their homophobia-ee liv are not unual for men of their age whose feelgs, romance and sexual behavr were forced unrground by harsh church and state penalti for most of the 20th century.

Neher of them wanted to be an activist; they uld not afford to be out, then or now, sce both of their profsns rist gays om admissn and advancement. A different view of gay life Warsaw and Poland was reported by Robert Biedron, the 28 year-old head of Campaign Agast Homophobia (KPH), a LGB lobbyg, advocy and outreach anizatn.

Whout hatn he said, “if you read the extensive study nducted 2001 by Lambda Warsaw (a social support anizatn) clearly stat that 80% of Polish people disapprove of homosexualy.

WARSAW GAY BARS

KPH also lobbi the ernment on behalf of the gay muny to advote for protective legislatns (which are stated the Polish nstutn but ignored realy) as well as registered partnerships. Even though some of the lears attend the third anniversary party of KPH and spoke supportively of gays they did not take much actn to support the gay muny after the manipulated ncellatn of the 2004 ‘Equaly’ Para by r opponents.

And Warsaw polics are unreliable for any near-future regnn of gay life or love, although the natnal senate bated the issue of registered partnerships September 2004.

KPH works nsistently to fight back agast tolerance and homophobia by engagg polil lobbyg, tnal semars, petns to legislative bodi and advotg on behalf of queer culture. KPH mounted a ntroversial and well-publicized tnal mpaign 2003 ‘Let Then See Us’ g huge billboards Warsaw to show gays and lbians as ‘normal’ people–until nservative opposn forced their removal after a week. Outsi this vibrant and lorful re Krakow appears as a bland rintial and dtrial megopolis of nearly 800, 000 mostly Catholic cizens–meang ’s also nservative and sentially homophobic.

(In addn to the lol plac, Przemek sometim driv across the borr wh iends to the Czech Republic cy of Ostava where there is also a gay scene and is not as nservative and the pric are half what they are Poland. Ksch bills self as a ‘teatr-galerie-klub’ but ’s clearly a gay dance bar patronized by 70% gays and 30% non-gays who e for the mic and the easy ambience. Further south the southern Tatra mountas is the rort town of Zapokane where one of Poland’s most illtr gay classil mic posers Karol Szymanowski (1882-1937) lived.

Along wh other famo gay artists like photographer Baron von Gloen, Osr Wil and Andre Gi, Szymanowski found the relaxed male sexualy of Sicily, Moroc and Tunisia to be psychologilly liberatg and spirg for his mic. But a glarg omissn at this dntg killg ground, I noticed, was any obv remembrance, mm or memorial to the thoands of homosexuals put to ath by the psychotic Germans.
