Konrad and Paul is a comic book, in which everything is put straight - crude humour, brilliant observations concerning characters’ every day and sexual life. Bad for them that they’re gay, because everyone will pay attention to their bed adventures and these are rather occasional… Sure, they talk about sex quite often (especially one of them), but this makes the comics even more funny.

What’s so shocking about this comic? When I hear such opinions, I sometimes feel as if I had gone back in time. In the West it really doesn’t shock anyone any more, we have to get through with this hypocrisy which dominates here in Poland - fags do exist, whether anybody likes it or not.

Campaign Against Homophobia invites to a meeting with Bartosz Żurawiecki, the author of recently published book Ja, czyli 66 moich miłości [there's no official translation, but it's something like Me or my 66 loves.] (Sic!, 2007).

The main character opens a profile on a gay dating portal, thanks to which he meets many people and has many love affairs. There are many brave scenes in the book, but they often turn into grotesque. The latest Żurawiecki’s novel surprises, is full of humour and stimulates thinking, violating sexual taboo at the same time.

The meeting will take place in the seat of Campaign, Warsaw, Żelazna Street 68 (1st floor), on Wednesday, November 14th at 8 pm. Free admission.

I just came back from the author’s evening with Robert Biedroń, who is the author of recently published book Tęczowy Elementarz (there’s no official translation, but If I had to, I would make Rainbow’s ABC out of the title). The meeting took place in one of the gay clubs in Warsaw, namely Rasko, today (November 8th) at 7 pm.

I guess everything went just as good as it could. Unofficial and very friendly, warm and optimistic atmosphere made a wonderful impression on me. As for Robert, it was the first time I’ve met him. Though I’ve already heard much about him. But this implies that, for now, I know him only as an author, and not as a gay rights activist, for instance founder of Campaign Against Homophobia (one of the biggest and most important Polish LGBT rights groups).
