Warsaw, 2020



In early 2020, ILGA-Europe, a Brussels-based NGO, ranked Poland as the most homophobic country in the European Union. On the 7th of August, Warsaw police arrested Margot, a non-binary activist, and placed her in pre-trial detention. In response to her arrest, protesters took to the streets and a further 48 people were detained in an event some are referring to as ‘Polish Stonewall’. i-D travelled to Warsaw to meet the LGBT+ activists fighting for a ‘Polish Stonewall’.
