Poznań Pride Week

“In Poznań, the most popular picket was the toilet located under the Kaponiera roundabout, through which it was impossible to” fly through “in the evening or late at night. As in other cities, homosexuals also “picketed” on the premises of the Main Railway Station, especially on its outskirts, in the vicinity of the West Station, and in toilets located by the porches. It was similar with the Old Market Square – near the Town Hall, there was a picket in the municipal chalet “down the stairs”, in which one of my interlocutors once encountered the “greedy eyes” of an extremely popular singer at that time. Other locations of Poznań pickets include Plac Wielkopolski or a restaurant at the Hotel Merkury (formerly Orbis Merkury), where you could pick up guests coming to the Poznań International Fair. “

Co-financed by the budget of the City of Poznań
