Abstract
Although there is a substantial increase of literature on LGBT elders in Anglo-American academia, studies from Central and Eastern Europe are in paucity. This article draws on the narratives of older gay and lesbian people living in same-sex relationships gathered during focus groups interviews in Poland. Their narratives on defining and negotiating kinship reveal and reflect complex shifts and processes in post-socialist countries in the last few decades. The identities and experiences of this group are embedded both in the past regime denying the existence of homosexuality and current social context, still characterised by state-supported homophobia, yet bringing the development of LGBT organisations.
