Hello guys,
My name is Joanna from Koscian (Poznan area) but living and studying in London. I am doing module on International Human Rights and need to do research essay. I am aware of cases when a polish teacher was fired from work only because he was gay, when people were beaten up only because they participated in Rainbow parade... Please post your views on my research question: Does democratic Poland guarantee it's LGBT citizens respect for human and civil rights? Of course we all know the answer but need more resources, examples, personal experiences (no need for personal data)! If you know some good valuable pages please post me a link! Thank you for your time! all the best Joanna

Under Polish law,yes,it does for the LGB part, the T part is only covered if the said T also identifies as L or G......no Gender clause in the particular Human right clause.
But seeing as a T seems to have polled well in the recent elections maybe that is moot.
What you are asking is two questions.
1,Is there legal protection,answer, yes.
2, Have times and people changed because of a few laws, answer, I have no idea, over to someone else.....

1 point though before any trolls make it, laws in the UK have not stopped violant attacks on people.

It does not as compared to the scandinavian standard, but by and large we're progressing here even if without any legal assurances. Look up: Anna Grodzka and Robert Biedroń, and formulate your opinion then. And... although unrelated... for the first time we have two black guys who are MP's in a country that's 99,?% white :-)))
