Gay couple in Poland take on LGBTI Free Zones

‘The rainbow does not infect but can protect people from a real threat.’

Polish gay Couple

A gay couple in Poland have found a unique way to spread the LGBT+ rainbow and help protect people from coronavirus. Married YouTubers Jakub and Dawid Mycek-Kwiecinski handed out hundreds of rainbow face masks on the streets.

It comes as Poland considers a new ‘Stop Pedophilia’ law. The law falsely links LGBT+ people with pedophilia and could effectively stop all sex education in schools, if it goes ahead. Moreover, several Polish cities and districts have declared their neighborhoods to be ‘LGBT Free Zones’. The zones are not legally enforceable but have made LGBT+ Poles feel threatened and excluded.

Jakub said: ‘Many Polish people call us [LGBT+ people] a plague. So we thought if we help people overcome real plague, they might change their mind. I know it’s naive, but if we can do something good, then why not?’

Spreading the love but their love is not recognized. It’s not the first time the Mycek-Kwiecinski’s have become a viral hit. They first came to fame for their lip-sync video of Roxette’s Some Other Summer. And in 2017, their Christmas song celebrating LGBT+ families became a surprise number one in Poland.
