Two Equality Marches have been held in Bolesławiec: in 2023, a march that led the women and men of Bolesławiec toward Europe and in 2024, the 2nd Equality March at the opening of the 30th Bolesławiec Ceramics Festival. There was also one equality action during the opening of the Bolesławiec Ceramics Festival in 2025.

When asked whether the Left would support another equality march in Bolesławiec, a clear answer was given.

“Of course,” replied Agnieszka Dziemianowicz-Bąk. “I have taken part many times in various small marches in Lower Silesia. I had the pleasure of participating in the first Equality March in Milicz. I am glad that county towns such as Bolesławiec organize initiatives of this kind. Let us be honest: although every equality march is an extremely valuable event, today, in 2026, it is easier to organize an Equality March in Wrocław or Gdynia, or a parade in Warsaw. In smaller towns and county towns, it requires a great deal of determination, courage and readiness to be at the forefront of change. This makes it all the more deserving of recognition, and the Equality March in Bolesławiec can certainly count on the Left—on its presence and support. Appreciation is due for the organization,” the politician added.

The Equality March in Bolesławiec has always also brought together people who wanted to express their opposition to the policies of President Piotr Roman, who is associated with Bezpartyjni Samorządowcy and cooperates with Law and Justice.

Reasons to hold an Equality March in Bolesławiec

Respect – We do this because we deeply believe that mutual respect and community are the bond of every healthy community. The words “we are all made of the same clay” perfectly express both the equality and fragility of all people—regardless of whom they love or how they define themselves.

Solidarity – Solidarity is not limited to showing support in difficult moments. It is a daily gesture: a smile in the street, reaching out a hand, speaking up for someone experiencing discrimination. Every day, the LGBT community faces challenges that may be invisible to people outside the group. In our view, it is precisely in such small gestures that the greatest strength lies.

Our loved ones – We all have our dreams, plans and fears; we seek acceptance and respect. When we look in the mirror and see our own imperfections, it becomes easier to understand another person—their joys and fears. Perhaps the most important thing is that we look at one another more often through the prism of our shared traits rather than our differences.

Miracles – We have experienced many times how solidarity can work miracles—both locally and nationwide. The stories of people who experienced persecution but, thanks to the support of others, managed to find the strength to fight and their place in the world prove that together we can achieve more.

Courage – Solidarity requires courage—from members of the LGBT community and from its allies alike. We are all shaped from the same “clay”—made up of feelings, histories, sensitivity and hope. We believe that the more often we remind ourselves of this, the happier and safer our lives will be, and the world will become fuller of acceptance and understanding.
