Episode 8 of Kinship Connects features Maciej Kopeć, a recently disfellowshipped Seventh-Day Adventist, who lives with his partner in Warsaw, Poland (the Polish law does not allow him to have a legal husband). He works as a team leader in the clinical research area in one of the big pharma companies and supports LGBTQ folks in Poland, fighting for their rights as well. He is especially sensitive to the issues of psychological safety of young LGBTQ people where the suicide rate is high.
