What can say about the attitudes of Polish and Hungarian societies towards LGBT+ people? To what extent the anti-gender backlash is transnational in nature? What kinds of solidarity can activists and researchers forge across the borders? We will ask about the legal and social background for the current situation. During the discussion, we will compare the situation of LGBT+ people and movements in Poland and Hungary. We invited researchers studying the situation of LGBT+ people in both countries, who at the same time are involved in activities for the rights of minorities. Not earlier than in July this year the European Commission launched legal cases against Hungary’s law banning LGBT+ content for children and Poland’s „LGBT-free” zones. In the past few years Poland and Hungary have been regularly criticised for discriminating LGBT+ people.
