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.

Yesterday Rzeczpospolita, one of Polish biggest nationwide daily newspapers, published an interview with our new Vice-Marshal of the Sejm (lower house of the Polish parliament) Stefan Niesiołowski. There would be nothing uncommon in this fact, if the conversation wasn’t about gay and lesbian community. And Niesiołowski has been known for his homophobic public statements for years. Some time ago he said:

Homosexuality is not a norm, most likely it is a sickness and we all should pray for them sinners and strive for their reformation and conversion.

Moreover, Marches for Equality are nothing but provocations which are aimed at leading to

discrimination against family, inter alia by financially supported by the government propaganda for abortion, by limitation on parents’ influence and rights (for example with making it possible for children or neighbours to officially complain about them), by gradual elimination of the [Catholic] Church’s influence and religion’s role in the process of education, by promotion of unmarried mothers and discrimination against numerous families, and finally by promotion of homosexuality.

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).
