In addition to a map with all equality marches in Poland, this year we also have a calendar of holidays related to LGBTQ + people. For example, in April we have Lesbian Visibility Day, in May we have Pansexuality and Panromantic Awareness Day, and in November we have Polyamorous Day.
We present holidays and days related to the LGBTQ + community also in Poland. Some of these holidays are unofficial events, and of course, it’s almost impossible to celebrate each of them, but it’s worth paying attention to the most important ones, or those that concern you the most.
