Please PLEASE read about it and spread it around. On yesterday's first pride in my home city the marchers (me and my close friend included) were attacked by the group of extremist far-right with stones, eggs, flares, bangers and, of course, lots and lots of slurs. I was spat on and I still consider myself lucky, people ended in hospitals after getting beaten after the pride. It was a scary place.
I really hope it won't be overlooked.
We won't "get they fuck out".
No number of "hunting for fags" will stop us from being, living and loving. (yes. this happened yesterday. right after the march fascist chanted that they will "hunt for fags" and so they did, there's a video of 3 grown ass men beating and kicking a guy not older than 15, one kicked him in the face)
Oh and, and some facts
- The numbers. There was about 1 thousand people at the pride and 3 thousand opposing. Football hooligans (VERY aggressive group in Poland) from the whole country came to Białystok just for this
- There were about 74 events planned just to stop the march. Only 1-3 of them were accepted by the local government
- The church thanked the protesters from "defending family values"
- The minister of education said its all the fault of the fact that prides are taking place
