🇵🇱 Not So Free - LGBT 'Free Zones' in Poland ⛔

Poland has been mentioned so many times in recent news, because of the "LGBT Free Zones" - municipalities and regions of Poland that have declared themselves unwelcoming of an alleged "LGBT ideology", in order to ban equality marches and other LGBT events. We have interviewed the activist Filip Pawlak, that participated in some demonstrations called "The Polish Stonewall Riots" in which he got arrested. The production of this episode came to reality thanks to the support of the Friedrich Naumann Foundation in Jerusalem; and thanks to our volunteers: Alon Rosenblum and Ariel Skop. Also huge thanks to Filip Pawlak and Adam Gajek.
