Hi guys,

it took me a while to finish editing it but I finally did, here's another tape of Patreon Podcast! In the meantime I also decided I'd like to post these monthly around the 10th of each month (so it seems haha). I feel like I could use a schedule, that's something I learned recently.

I hope you enjoy this one and I also hope it doesn't sound like I'm complaining too much about my situation when I know there is so many people around the world who have it much worse than me and some of the examples I have given are not even that extreme... but yeah. In this one I'm disucssing homophobia in Poland.

As always recently title comes from The Smiths song lyrics - this time more accurate than ever as the band's vocalist Morrissey is actually gay.

Stay safe everyone, hope you're okay,

Ola

PS. If you prefer a youtube version of the Podcast for whatever reason I also uploaded one:

Thanks so much for sharing Ola <3 And Sorry you are being shat on like that. Especially with your friends parents sending a letter like that. Shit like that is not right and really non of there business who you love. As for the Police officer I would have went to his supervisor and give him a tongue lashing! Not only is it non of his business what you two are doing in a free country but to question your intentions and ask why there's no boyz/men in the vehicle is still non of his dang business. My response to that would be are we free to go?

Yes, exactly! I asked him if it's okay to go, but I guess the worst part of it was that we were alone in the middle of nowhere at night. I felt threatened when I shouldn't have. I hope now I'd be more brave and stand up for myself. Thank you so much for listening Noel and for your kind words <3

Thank you so for sharing this. I always wondered what your perspective was on this particular topic, since in my country (the Netherlands), we sometimes talk about Poland seeming to be homophobic. However, I think that you are right in the matter that homophobia is occuring everywhere. I consider the Netherlands being very gayfriendly. However, I have encountered being called out by others when holding hands with my boyfriend and in the park (I did not feel threatened however, because I think bystanders would defend me if it would have resulted in conflict, because most people find lgbtq rights important I believe) or this other time when I was in a bed and breakfast and the maid was trying to prove to me that she wasn't homophobic and was asking personal stuff and giving her approval (even though I did not ask for it or anything XD). I find it really comforting that you have such a loving family and environment yourself (besides that childhood friend and her parents). It really is a shame that your friend at the other side of the country doesn't have the same experience. You always mentioned you wanted to do more podcasts, which seems a great idea. However, right now, I actually like that the podcasts come out rarely. This way, it feels really spontaneous and authentic, like you need to get something particular off your shoulders or if you have a really fun story (like the christmas podcast and you working as a DJ), so please dont feel like you HAVE to do podcasts more frequently EDIT: geez, I am sorry that I am writing a novel again in the comment section
