Everyone sees a family, the state doesn’t: the story of Miłka and Ola

Miłka and Ola live in a small town near Kołobrzeg. Together, they are raising two boys.

This might sound like a very ordinary story, but same-sex couples have to face challenges and discrimination that heterosexual couples don’t even think about, especially in modern-day Poland.

Journalists from ‪@KrytykaPolitycznaTV‬ went to Kołobrzeg to interview the couple and hear their story, with its struggles and little victories.
