Our goal is to ensure the right to marry for all, regardless of their sexual orientation and gender identity.
Love Does Not Exclude was founded in 2009 (at first as an informal group) by a team of activists, volunteers and allies committed to securing full equality for LGBT+ persons, especially in terms of their right to marry. Based in Warsaw, we work on a national level, cooperating with several LGBT+ organizations as well as other groups, institutions and individuals who share our ideals of equality.
In 2013 we were the first NGO in Poland to present the idea of marriage equality as a legal postulate of the LGBT+ community. We had developed a strategy, drafted a bill, and launched an always-on social campaign on the issue.
Today our campaigns reach an audience of more than 1 million people and the three pillars of our Strategy (campaigning, community building, and legal and advocacy work) remain crucial to all our efforts.
In 2019 we gathered more than 30 LGBT+ organisation from all over Poland at a First LGBT+ Congress to build a consensus over a joint Declaration listing the most important legal postulates of our community. Our draft was accepted and became the first document of its kind in the history of the movement.
Today marriage equality is accepted as one of the main postulates by all LGBT+ groups in the country.
In 2015 we launched a coalition which lead strategic litigation against Poland at the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg.
In 2023 we won! The Court decided that Poland breached the European Convention on Human Rights by not providing any legal protections for same-sex couples and parents.
In 2012, 2013, and 2018 together with our political allies we managed to put 3 drafts of bills on civil unions into Polish parliament.
In 2020 our draft of bill on marriage equality has been presented as a part of presidential campaign of one of the candidates.
Thanks to our work, in 2024 marriage equality became the golden standard and point of reference druing political negotiations on the first draft of a governmental civil unions bill.

We put a lot of work to maintain diversified sources of funding with a strong emphasis on donations from our community and allies. Our work focuses on social and legal change which makes it political. Not relying on funding from public institutions allows us to retain independence and talk with any government on equal footing.
