Thay are in love. They are together. They are building their happiness not in a "different way" than others do. Polish gays and lesbians living in permanent relationships do not confirm the stereotype of life filled with hundreds of sexual partners. Faithfulness and normality are very important for them although the reality they live in does not make their everyday existence easier. Homo.pl is a warm portrait without pity or patronizing approach. " They" are one of "us."
