LGBT-free zone

LGBT-free zones were municipalities and regions of Poland that had declared themselves unwelcoming of LGBTQ rights, in order to ban equality marches and other LGBTQ events. By June 2020, some 100 municipalities (map), as well as five voivodeships, encompassing a third of the country, had adopted resolutions characterised as "LGBT-free zones". On 6 February 2024, Warsaw's Voivodship Administrative Court repealed the last document "against LGBT ideology" in Poland. By 24 April 2025, all anti-LGBTQ resolutions and all Local Government Family Rights Charters have been withdrawn or invalidated by court order.
