The Layover


"I was on the verge of a new era, trying to reclaim my life. Apparently, that made me vulnerable as fuck

Novella The Layover will be published in August/September 2017.

A referendum on banning same-sex unions was held in the Slovak Republic on 7 February 2015. The referendum was initiated by a religious conservative campaign Alliance for Family (Aliancia za rodinu), aiming to block gay couples from gaining rights in the future. The referendum failed with only 21.4% of citizens casting a vote. However, there continues to be no legal recognition of same-sex relationships in Slovakia, and same-sex marriage is banned by a constitutional amendment. According to an EU-poll Slovakia has high rates of assault and harassment against LGBT people. An overwhelming majority of LGBT people in Slovakia avoid holding hands with their partner in public for fear of being assaulted, threatened or harassed.
