Tokyo 2021 Olympic Games - Gold and Bronze medals for Poland

Athletics - Men's Hammer Throw

Gold - Wojciech Nowicki

Bronze - Paweł Fajdek

In Rio 2016 he won bronze. This time, Wojciech Nowicki calmly dominated the Olympic contest - all his throws were over 80 m. The longest was 82,52 m - his personal best record. Pure class, cool greatness.

Paweł Fajdek, 4times World Champion, broke his Olympic bad luck, and with a throw of 81,53 m won the bronze medal, proving that it truly was always in his reach.

In a country where president gained his votes by spreading hatred, in a country where right-wing activists spread rumors about LGBT people wanting to adopt children to r*pe them, in a country where conservatives think gays only want to teach the kids masturbation, in a country where so many young people are homeless because their homophobic parents kicked them out, in a country where people are afraid to hold hands with someone of the same sex, in a country where people were murdered on the street because they were gay, in a country where LGBT people have literally no rights, in a country where non-binary, genderfluid, trans people aren't even acknowledged, in a country where people are afraid to speak out about their orientation in fear of being publicly lynched, in a country part of which denies LGBT people the right to live, in a country where LGBT people are considered abominations in need of treatment...

Maneskin on public TV said love is never wrong. That everybody should be able to be whoever they want. On public TV Damiano kissed Thomas.

I can't imagine how many kids this has given hope to. How many unwanted kids who have been denied parental love because they dared to be who they feel they are, saw that they are not alone in the world. How many artists felt solidarity, inspiration and motivation. And deep down I really want to believe that maybe at least a small percentage of homophobes have thought about this message.

I cried. My heart grew so much bigger, knowing that it was shown on public TV. Even if it doesn't strike any change, many kids out there, being neglected, afraid and bullied, felt the representation and support they need.
