Multiple Polish cities, including the capital of Warsaw, illuminated major buildings with rainbow lights as a symbol of support for the country’s oppressed LGBTQ+ community.
According to Reuters, Warsaw mayor, Rafal Trzaskowski, pledged to light up the city to mark the International Day for Tolerance on Monday November 16.
The cities of Gdansk, Krakow, Poznan, Wroclaw also took part in the movement. Despite the symbol of support, LGBTQ+ activists believe more action needs to be taken, particularly on Trzaskowski’s part.
