the day in poland

KPH Torun organizes a picnic with blankets and baskets full of delicious food. There will be music, friends (the Green Party and the Young Socialists) and nice talks. We want to celebrate instead of having a confrontation with a hostile noefascist group (National Reviva of Poland). We will have banners with slogans, logos. And finally we will be distributing some leaflets to people in the streets informing them about homophobia, gay rights and homosexuality in general. We want to be open and talk to people.

KPH Wroclaw is organizing a festival called "May without homophobia" to celebrate May 17 International Day Against Homophobia. There will be eleven events such as: workshops, lectures, movies screen-ing, happenings, music party combined with safe-sex promotion (giving out condoms and HIV/AIDS prevention leaflets), concert of a foreign transgender artist, an exhibition, collecting sings on the petition concerning law changes placing ban on discrimination against sexual orientation in penal code and writing letters of support concerning recently attacked and imprisoned gay activist in Honduras. The festival takes place between  May 14 and June 8 2007.
