LGBTQ+ and abortion rights advocates are thrilled Poland's ruling, right-wing Law and Justice party is unlikely to from Poland's next government. But they are skeptical of the commitment of who will.

Sobecki says the majority of those in the opposition who won Poland's election are old guard politicians like former Prime Minister Donald Tusk, with whom his organization has already tried to negotiate equal rights when he was in power. "Do not confuse happiness with cessation of pain," he says."Just because we can count on public television no longer calling us 'pedophiles' — maybe this is not the highest standards that we should aim for?"
"You can see that I'm quite cheerful, but I'm also a realist," she says."So I know that we still have so much work to do." Last weekend, Broniarczyk says police showed up at her parents' home outside of Warsaw looking for her. A new liberal government will likely mean these visits will stop, but Broniarczyk isn't optimistic.
