Gay Warsaw
Forget the horror stories about the iron hand of Catholicism. There is a gay scene in Warsaw. There is even a gay clerical scene. And the Poles would no more let themselves be told what to do by the Catholic Church (deeply religious though many of them are) than by the communists. For information check . For gay and lesbian literature , check out the Odeon bookshop at ul. Hoza 19. Like anywhere else, the scene changes rapidly in Warsaw. Though there are gay pubs (the most well-known is the Kozla Pub at ul. Kozla 10/12), most people meet in gay-friendly pubs with a mixed clientele. The current favourite is Miedzy Nami (meaning "between ourselves") at ul. Bracka 20; ignore the sign at the door announcing that "cards must be shown" - it's just a ruse to keep numbers controlled at weekends. A couple of clubs stand out: Paradise , Skra stadium, ul. Wawelska 5, which has a friendly all-night disco (Thurs-Sat) with a great combination of acts - lesbian George Michael impersonators, drag queens and so on - with a few self-conscious straights snogging in the corner; and Klub M , ul. Walbrzyska 11, which has a daytime bar and an evening disco, a good 5km south of the centre, near Sulzew metro station.
