Starting from this weekend the Pride parades/marches will begin in Poland, as shown in this map (made by LGBT organisations):

- 14.05.2016 – Krakow: March of Equality in Krakow

- 08.10.2016 – Wroclaw: Wrocław March of Equality (Wrocławski Marsz Równości)
Usually, the marches/parade are just part of a festival (events) related to LGBT and equality/discrimination issues. So cis/hetero allies are more than welcome.
