UPDATE – April 24, 2025: It's official: the last so-called "LGBT-free zone" in Poland has been repealed.

Since 2019, nearly 100 Polish municipalities passed symbolic resolutions declaring themselves "free of LGBT ideology" – fueling a climate of fear, discrimination, and violence against LGBT+ people.

But activists across Poland fought back – and they weren't alone. Over 370,000 All Out members around the world stood with them: signing petitions, donating to support legal defenses, and amplifying the voices of those most affected.

Together with partners like Kampania Przeciw Homofobii (KPH), Lambda Warszawa, and the Atlas of Hate project – whose interactive map exposed these zones and helped spark global outrage – All Out members helped bring the truth to light and keep the pressure on.

From delivering signatures to the European Commission to projecting messages of solidarity on its headquarters in Brussels, we made sure this injustice couldn't be ignored.

Now, after years of sustained effort and collective resistance, we can say it: we won.

This victory belongs to the brave activists in Poland – and to everyone who stood in solidarity.

Hate and violence against LGBT+ communities in Poland are escalating.

Since 2019, around 100 Polish municipalities have declared themselves "LGBT-free zones," a newspaper distributed stickers with the same inflammatory slogan and a crossed-out Pride flag, and participants at a Pride march in the city of Białystok were attacked with stones and bottles by nationalists and far-right groups.

Polish LGBT+ people are determined to fight back against the hate, but they need your help. Show your solidarity by asking the European Union for support.

This campaign is being run in conjunction with Kampania Przeciw Homofobii - KPH (Campaign Against Homophobia) and Lambda Warszawa.
