Poland opens first LGBTQ museum in Warsaw, showcasing history amid ongoing legal battles.

Poland opened its first LGBTQ museum in Warsaw, marking a significant milestone for the community still fighting for full legal rights. Founded by the nonprofit Lambda, the museum is the first of its kind in post-communist Europe, featuring nearly 150 artifacts tracing the LGBTQ movement's history in Poland back to the 16th century. The opening ceremony gathered long-time activists who have fought for equality. Despite this progress, legal challenges remain, as Poland's ruling party has yet to fulfill its pledge to legalize civil unions for same-sex couples.
