The LGBTQ+ community in Poland is celebrating this week as the last of the country’s local authorities to have an anti-LGBTQ+ resolution has repealed the measure.

Only five years ago over 100 local authorities, accounting for roughly one third of the country, had adopted such archaic resolutions, with some even declaring their regions to be “free from LGBT ideology”.

Most local authorities were bound by what was known as a “charter of family rights”, which supported the idea that marriage should exist only between a man and a woman and pledged to “protect children from moral corruption.”

“A third of Poland has now been declared an ‘LGBT-free zone’, making intolerance official.”
