Three LGBTQ+ activists in Poland have been put on trial for carrying posters that showcased the Virgin Mary and Jesus with rainbow halos.
Back in April 2019 Elżbieta Podleśna, Anna Prus, and Joanna Gzyra-Iskandar Podleśna carried the posters during a peaceful Pride protest.
According to the popular polish publication Wyborcza.pl, the three women are facing up to two years of prison for offending the church and religious feelings.
Elżbieta Podleśna challenged the potential conviction, stating: “The immediate impulse for our action was the installation of the Holy Sepulcher, containing homophobic content.
