It is hard to be a LGBT individual in Poland today. Especially erstwhile a man had already selected tiles for the bathroom, garden plan and construction crew schedule. Suddenly, elections and national disaster.
Karol Nawrocki, the same 1 who has not publically bowed before the sacred book of the "Gender Queer" progress, is elected to 1 of the highest offices in the state. And the full life task needs to be erased. due to the fact that how can you build a home erstwhile individual on the right wins an election?
“We planned to build a house, but after winning Nawrocki we quit” – 1 of the protagonists of the “Gazeta Wyborcza” report.
Let's just say this is about election. Not the eviction, not the deed, not the revocation of the construction permit. Just a simple democratic election. But unfortunately – the consequence is not that. present in “Election” it is not adequate to be traumatized by religion at school. You besides request a fresh category of anxiety: construction political panic. Here comes a conservative authoritative and the foundations are immediately falling apart, visualizations are lost, and the architect is given notice.
“We have already accepted that there will be no marriage, no partnership, due to the fact that we do not want children.”
It's touching. In a country where matrimony is simply a union between a female and a man, individual has for years been incapable to enter into it – and only now decides to accept it. Better late than never.
What are they afraid of?
It's not about real repression. There was no mention of a fresh gay penal code. No mandatory conversion or illegalisation of the rainbow was announced. It's about "climate."
"The 2020 climate returns," they say with concern the interviewer "GW"
Right-wing climate – this cold ideological front, which supposedly floats over Poland whenever a democratic majority chooses individual who does not think sex is simply a spectrum, and sexual education should contain cartoon drawings for adults. And here we come to the most crucial thing: giving up building a home becomes political resistance. It's like an investment in an empty game is simply a collaboration with the regime. It's like setting up walls, the couple would besides nail a coffin of liberal democracy.
"We are not afraid, but we are vigilant," homosexuals say.
This conviction has everything in it: drama, virtue and suspicion from the Scout order. Don't build, stay awake. If you request me, evacuate to Berlin.
Symbol alternatively of brick
All that remains of past is simply a symbol. The home – this ordinary, everyday, with roof and kitchen – turns into a metaphor. It's not about the credit, the contractor or the cost of the concrete. It's about transmission. And this message is clear: as long as the right is winning, the LGBT is building nothing. Even the gazebos.
This isn't a construction waiver. It's a kind of rainbow construction strike. A passive opposition to a state that does not meet the perfect expectations of its citizens. It doesn't substance that no 1 banned building. That no 1 took the cut. It is adequate that a "inappropriate" man has been chosen.
“We may return to our plans erstwhile things change.”
I guess erstwhile we win the election again, or at least 1 of our bubble will be president. Then we will happily erect our walls of tolerance and the foundations of equality.
Summary? Of course.
This communicative is not about LGBT rights. It's not even about housing policy. It's a communicative about how much you can make your private life dependent on election results. How deep can ideological loyalty go? And how much political losers hurt those who were certain they would never lose again.
Home? Yes. But only in a country where all authoritative knows Judith Butler's manifesto by heart, and all president passes an inclusive test. There's no another way. due to the climate. due to the fact that Nawrocks. Poland
