The goal of this paper is to address the phenomena of homosexuality in Albania and the situation of persons with homosexual tendencies encounter. Future spouses’ sexuality cannot be ignored when addressing the conditions for marriage. The issue of gay marriage has been at the center of political and social debate in the world for years now. Legal regulation concerning homosexual marriage is found in countries like Spain, Argentina, Mexico, and the Netherlands. As regards Albania, no law allowing same gender marriages has been adopted yet. Our Family Code does not give a clear definition of the concept of future spouses, not having a provision that specifically requires different genders of people wishing to join in marriage, although, through a careful reading of the provisions of the Family Code it is noted that different genders are a requirement for marriage. Regardless of the time we live in, we observe that our society is still conservatory towards this phenomenon. The fear that with accepting homosexual marriages the definition of the traditional family will lose its meaning brings a large part of the society to be skeptical in accepting homosexual marriages. We continue to be faced to the myth that the acceptance of homosexual marriages will lead to an increase in the number of homosexuals in the country.

RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this article is to present arguments against the possibility of adoption of a child by a homosexual person in the light of Polish family law. THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: Since the Polish legislature does not explicitly accept or prohibit the adoption of a child by a homosexual person, the question of the possibility of adoption of a child by such a person is raised in the light of the principles of family law in force in Poland. There has been applied the method of critical and comparative analysis as well as the analysis of the reference literature, rulings of the Polish Supreme Court and Polish reference legislation. THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: After having initially defined the aim of the study, the author indicates the function and purpose of the adoption and its premises. Two basic premises of adoption are explained in detail - the premise of the best interests of the child and the appropriate personal qualifications of the adopter. The essential part of the argumentation is to find the answer to the question on whether adoption of a child by a homosexual person in the light of Polish family law is possible or not. RESEARCH RESULTS: The result of this research is the statement of impossibility of adoption of a child by homosexuals in the light of Polish family law. CONCLUSIONS, INNOVATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: The analysis confirmed the dominant view in Polish doctrine according to which adoption of a child by homosexuals appears to be in contradiction of the principle of the best interests of the child.

Artykuł stanowi krytyczną analizę zaproponowanej przez Alexandra Prussa koncepcji zjednoczenia ciał opartej na opisie zawartym w Księdze Rodzaju (2,24). Pruss wykorzystuje tę koncepcję do sformułowania dwóch argumentów na rzecz tezy, iż akt seksualny pary homoseksualnej jest moralnie niewłaściwy. Proponuję alternatywne ujęcie zjednoczenia ciał, w świetle którego mogą w nim uczestniczyć zarówno pary heteroseksualne, jak i pary homoseksualne. Uważam, że ta konsekwencja mojego ujęcia daje mu istotną przewagę nad propozycją Prussa.

I critically examine Alexander Pruss’s conception of the one-body union described in Genesis 2:24. Pruss appeals to his conception of the one-body union to advance two arguments for the conclusion that homosexual sex is morally wrong. I propose an alternative conception of the one-body union that implies that heterosexual and homosexual couples alike can participate in the one-body union; I take that implication of my account to be a significant advantage over Pruss’s account.

Conscience is the light of truth, says a Catholic lesbian, Polish human rights activist. To her, it should be the key signpost in life. Obvious, though it may seem, being a non-heteronormative person in a democratic country may prove challenging. In addition, to reconcile one’s psychosexual orientation with religion requires breaking the ground and pushing the boundaries. Eventually, only a handful of people manage to further their own agenda. Th e present paper focuses on a personal narrative of a Polish lesbian who has managed to find the way to God. It is a case study which offers insights into how one manages to reconcile seemingly opposing identities. It is meant to reveal the stages of the process of coming to terms with one’s complicated social situation.

Sumienie jest światłem prawdy, mówi wierząca lesbijka, Polka oraz aktywistka broniąca praw człowieka. Jej zdaniem sumienie powinno być jedynym drogowskazem w życiu. Choć wydaje się to niemożliwe, jednakże bycie osobą nieheteronormatywną w kraju demokratycznym może okazać się wyzwaniem. Ponadto, pogodzenie sfery seksualności z przekonaniami religijnymi oznacza przełamywanie granic oraz wychodzenie poza przyjęte normy. Jedynie niektórym udaje się zrealizować ten plan. Artykuł poświęcony jest analizie narracji tożsamościowej polskiej lesbijki, której udało się odnaleźć własną drogę do Boga. Jest to studium przypadku ukazujące proces godzenia nieheteronormatywnej tożsamości z wyznawanymi przekonaniami o podłożu religijnym.
