LGBTQ+ people in Poland are celebrating after the country’s right-wing government lost its majority in a landmark election, paving the way for long overdue progress on queer rights.There was a sense of relief among Poland’s embattled LGBTQ+ community on Monday (16 October) as exit polls after Sunday’s election indicated that the anti-LGBTQ+ Law and Justice party’s time in government could be over.
