The hatrage from far right wing eleborate is enormous. Hatespeech from politicians and society is no longer acceptable. We hope we can change mind or people how they see on LGBTI minority and they will find just a little bit of acceptace for them.
Recent FRA surveys show us that Slovaks do not want to have gay or lesbian neighbors. They also say that they have never met or know lesbians and gays.

LGBTI seniors - people who can give us testimonies about history of LGBTI movement after 1989.
LGBTI youngsters
LGBTI decisions makers
LGBTI allies
LGBTI participants in community center and cumminity live.

Our idea is to create a safe space where LGBT people find the opportunity to tell their story and explain to them that LGBT rights are human rights. LGBTI people are not second-class people.

we create:
- community Center
- An online space to tell the stories of LGBT people;
- historical research of LGBTI people;
- discussions and lectures that will educate the youngesters and elder members of society;
- Create platform for discussion with decisions makers and
and rational people with whom one can communicate on a professional and decent level
- Animated explanatory videos

Our goal is to sensitize the population to the following topics: human rights, tolerance, non-discrimination and the acceptance of the minority by majority.
By explanatory videos we will inform major population about real numbers about LGBTI people and statistics.

Only by knowing and openly informing about the lives and destinies of LGBTI people can we alleviate the wave of hatred and increase the level of acceptance and tolerance in our society.
We want to encourage more gays, lesbian and transgender people to live openly and tell their story.
There is no LGBTI community center in Slovakia, we want to create a safe space that will support, help and include LGBTI people, because their lives matters.

Our idea is to create a safe space where LGBT people find the opportunity to tell their story and explain to them that LGBT rights are human rights. LGBTI people are not second-class people.

It is alarming direction that Slovakia has choosen and has taken in recent years. The fact that no same-sex couple relationships are legalized is painful for human lives.
What's worse is the increasing number of hate attacks and hate speech. These can be seen not only among ordinary people, but also in politicians and other decisions makers. The society is presented with a distorted picture of the LGBTI community, which is demonized, and we want to change this by objectively informing about the lives of LGBTI people.
