Jacek Dehnel reflects on the state of LGBT rights in Poland, noting that the PiS government stoked animosity against these communities, leading to widespread discrimination. He concluded that Poland was "not a safe place for LGBT people" during their rule. With LGBT-free zones declared in almost a third of municipalities, Dehnel and his husband relocated to Berlin to escape state-organized agitation and persecution. Although they have returned now, he acknowledges ongoing issues.
Despite the improvements in the current government, Jacek Dehnel expresses that the legal situation for LGBT people in Poland remains unchanged, emphasizing, "Many things in Poland still need changing and improving." He acknowledges a gradual shift towards a "somewhat better Poland," but insists that while the atmosphere may have lightened, substantial legal support and equality for LGBT citizens are still lacking, indicating that the fight for rights is far from over.
