The Law of Love

About

On the surface it appears the whole Czech society is open minded and LGBTQ+ friendly. But when it comes to the question of law and marriages of same sex couples, the hidden ignorance and hatred emerge. Czeslaw and the group of his companions run a campaign to prove to the politicians and the public that the fight for LGBTQ+ rights in Europe is far from being over. Will he succeed? Will Czech Republic be the first country in Eastern Europe where gays and lesbians will be allowed to marry? Or will all the effort get stuck in the political populistic maze?
