Nobel laureate refuses Polish honour due to LGBTQ+ rights debate
Reading now: 735
2018 Nobel Prize-winning writer Olga Tokarczuk has turned down the offer of honorary citizenship from the region in Poland where she is currently living – Lower Silesia – due to anti-LGBTQ+ attitudes in the area.
Tokarczuk would have been receiving her honorary citizenship at the same time as Bishop Ignacy Dec who has reportedly made hostile comments towards the LGBTQ+ community, saying it is a threat to the catholic church.
Tokarczuk on the other hand is known to be an LGBTQ+ ally, and tweeted that although she is thankful to have been offered the honour, she must ‘sadly’ refuse.
She continued: “Instead of being a joyous celebration of a sense of community, it would be a vivid illustration of the painful rift in our society”.
