A Long Way From Home - Episode 6 - Protecting LGBTQ+ Youths in Poland
Episode 6
Thursday, 24 March, 2022
LGBTQ+ homelessness is a global problem. At the Ali Forney Center we have seen a direct correlation between the amount of political and religious hostilities directed at the LGBTQ community and the number of teens discarded from their homes for being queer. On this episode, we have the great honor of being joined by Zuza Glowacka, Co-Founder of the Warsaw House Foundation, and Marek Szolc, member of the Warsaw City Council, lawyer, activist and one of the few openly gay politicians in Poland. Together we discuss the climate of repression and attacks upon LGBTQ people in Poland, and the urgent need for the housing the Warsaw House Foundation will provide to LGBTQ youths there..
