#stopbzdurom

[the-brave-and-the-dumb]

I know Tumblr is mostly US-centric but please, follow tags like "Poland", "StopBzdurom" (name of a collective, translated to Stop Bullshit), "Margot/Margot Szutowicz/Małgorzata Szutowicz"

(I will edit if there is anything more, basically check the tags I used).

Margot is a non-binary she/her pronouns using activist who decorated statue of Jesus Christ and other statues with Pride flag. She also got in a quarrel with a driver of a truck with anti-LGBT banner (which (mis)informed that LGBT people are pedophiles. That's why she was angry). Yesterday police came for her, to arrest her for those acts (100% against the law, tho) but people blocked them. The crowd went on a stroll to said Christ statue and once again police arrested Margot, locked her up in unmarked car. Police also beat the protestors and arrested random people. Few polish envoys were there and tried to help all the people they could because police was so brutal they even choked and stomped on people's heads.

Spread the news everywhere.

Don't make us suffer in silence.

We have had enough of homophobic government, president and prime minister calling us, LGBT+, an ideology, not-people, and caring more about the statues than about citizens.

OUR FRIEND HAS BEEN KIDNAPPED

As of today (14.07.2020) Małgorzata Szutowicz, member of the queer and anarchist Stop Bzdurom (“Stop Bullshit”) collective has been kidnapped from her flat by plainclothes policemen. The police officers didn’t let her dress herself, nor identified themselves to the other person in the flat. We don’t know which police station they are from and we don’t know Małgorzata’s current location. Stop Bzdurom is a collective founded in 2019, focused on fighting far-right initiatives in public spaces, including queer dance events blocking out a campaign by fundacja pro prawo do życia (“pro-right to life foundation”) spreading pseudoscientific claims that homosexuality is intrinsically linked to pedophilia. Most recently they’ve been fighting against graphic and false depictions of abortion on billboards and posters in public spaces.

Knew i wanted to draw something for pride this year, right now in Poland life as LGBTQ+ is a mess, we're ideology, perversion, not people who just want to exist, i don't even live in Poland anymore and on online forums I'm seeing 'trans' 'gay' and 'rainbow activist' as insults over my artworks

I just want you to know that my page is lgbtq+ friendly, I'm part of this community, but I'm also Polish abd Slavic and will fight for my rights

What if we kissed on Defiladowy Square in the middle of a protest against police brutality towards LGBTQ+ activists?

"Margot's arrest. Although Margot feels like a woman, she is to spend the next two months in male custody. - It's a trauma that stays with a person for years. I'm even afraid to think about what's going to happen in the cell," comments Julia Kata, a psychologist and vice president of the Trans-Fusion Foundation."

This is an excerpt from Gazeta Wyborcza.

Margot is a non-binary person using the pronouns she/her. She goes by Margot - Małgorzata Szutowicz, but according to the police of this homophobic country she is Michał Sz.

The fact that #Poland is trending on Tumblr FOR THE SECOND TIME DURING ONLY ONE MONTH– oh lord.

TW HOMOPHOPIA

IN POLAND ACTIVISTS ARE BEING ARRESTED BECAUSE OF LGBT FLAGS ON MONUMENTS LIKE HIGH CLASS CRIMINALS! THREE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ARRESTED SO FAR! THEY'RE BEING TREATED LIKE TERRORISTS WHILE THEIR ONLY "CRIME" WAS TO PUT RAINBOW FLAGS LIKE YOU CAN SEE ON THE PHOTOS.

[edit: they've been released for now]

Lgbt community in Poland is being bullied and mistreated by goverment, while the only thing we want is to exist in peace with equal rights!

You can be beaten if you are a part of LGBT+! Nobody's safe! Especially if you want to fight for your rights, if you want to be visible!

In Polish cities homophobic ads tells that gay people are phedophiles! That LGBT people want to teach three years old to masturbate! That we want to destroy Polish families! And they are not being punished for this! While activists are being arrested for offending religious feelings of catholics! Because of the RAINBOW!

What about my and my community feelings? The goverment offends us everyday! Telling that we are "the rainbow plague"! That we want to rape children! That we want to have more than aby other Polish citizen! Beating us, waiting for us to kill ourselves like many of us already did! Because of the hate we receive everyday!

I don't even know what to say more.

They want to make whole Poland LGBT free zone. Big part of the country is now LGBT free.

There is no place for LGBT+ people in Poland.

But we will not surrender.

"This is a storm! This is a rainbow! This is attack! We decided to act. As long as they will fear to take your hand. As long as the last homophobic van vanished from the street. This is our manifestation of otherness - this rainbow. As long as this flag will be scandalous and inapropriate, we solemny swear to provoke." - stopbzdurom

"To jest szturm. To tęcza. To atak! Postanowiłyśmy działać. Tak długo, jak będą się bać trzymać Cię za rękę. Tak długo, aż nie zniknie z naszych ulic ostatnia homofobiczna furgonetka. To nasza manifestacja odmienności – ta tęcza. Tak długo, jak flaga będzie kogoś gorszyć i będzie niestosowna, tak długo uroczyście przyrzekamy prowokować"

Hi. Idk if you remember me, I'm that anon from Poland. Yesterday something horrible happened (police brutality during riots when they arrested and beat innocent lgbt ppl that just standing there and peacefully demonstrate, a lot of people is prisoned and went missing ).Once again, I ask you for support.PLEASE reblog anything that talks about it (the tags are #stopbzdurom, #margotszutowicz #poland).You have a lot of followers and can help us spread the word! Thank you! The world needs to hear us!

I do remember you and God, that sounds terrifying! I do hope you and yours are safe. Anyone here in America knows what bullshit they’re pulling on us with protests--well, it’s happening in other countries, too, and it’s all stemming from the same source. Right-wing homophobic/racist bullshit.

The latest there is the arrest of transgender activist Margot Szutowicz, who is being detained for two months and hasn’t been given a chance to see a lawyer, just for civil disobedience. From what I’ve managed to read in Google-translated articles, (and please correct me if I’m wrong) she was more-or-less kidnapped by the state and kicked around by the police while they shouted transphobic slurs. (news article here-in Polish) (news article by AP)

LGBT people in Poland who are in crisis can contact Lambda Warszawa. A carrd with expanded information, including links to a petition to the European Comission, is located here. There are several legal networks trying to fight this, but people’s voices and donations are needed to help.
