Abstract
It is only since 1990 that we can really talk about the LGBT movement in Poland, when the first official gay and lesbian rights organization 'Lambda' was registered. It has to be noted, though, that there were earlier attempts to organize on behalf of homosexual persons. The so called gay and lesbian culture appeared in Poland (together with the women' s movement) alongside the democratizing processes in the Eastern block. The appearance of that culture was accompanied (not always in a very smooth manner) by a host of new political and sociological ideas. Overall, we, as activists and academics, encountered these ideas as one big package, with little historical awareness. This meant a number of problems when it comes to working out a strategy for sexual minorities that would be sensitive to the particular socio-political conditions in Poland.
