Dear Friends,
Feew weeks ago was a scandal in polish city KRAKOW. Official Buro of promotion of Krakow send information that they will start promotion of Krakow in world gay comunity (they will do speciall gay ads). After this information, right wings member of the City Council attacked director of this buro in media. This killed the project. For right wings, and other conservativs KRAKOW is a simbol of polish catholisim, they say on Krakow “city of Pope” (John Poul II) and they want to keep it this way.
TO LATE ! From last feew years I have some project im my mind. This year is time to do it !
31 of October is a halloven, but NOT ONLY. This is also the birthday of polish King “Wladyslaw the 3rd”. Wladyslaw was one of the most well know homosexuall King in XV ceuntry Europe. It is time to remember this !

Here in Poland we had four gay kings. We have huge tradition od tolerance (also for gays). Poland was the only country in the world who nover punish homosexual act. We even had our speciall polish word for gays in medieval ages – “mê¿o³óstwo”. BTW: First drag queen in Europe was found on XVI ceuntry on Krakows old market. That is why I decide to make “Day of King Wladyslaw the 3rd”.
