History
[edit]The original title was "Miesięcznik Kochających Inaczej" (pol. "People's Loving Differently Monthly"). After one of the changes of look of the magazine, it was changed into the last word, written in capital letters.
The magazine was mostly edited by a group of journalists-volounteers. The longest cooperation with the title was done by: Leszek Bolewski, Yga Kostrzewa, Maciej Wawrzyniak, Karol Martel, Marta Maciejewska, Marek Mrok, Andrzej Selerowicz, Waldemar Zboralski, Tomasz Stankiewicz, Krzysztof Halama, Tomasz Pniewski, Pierre Mika and Aleksander Stuglik, who published in there his short stories[2].
During the 12 years of the magazine's existence, it has interviewed more than 100 people. The people were both politicians of the left wing and liberal options, but also artists, actors, journalists, scientists and social activists, such as: Leszek Miller, Aleksander Kwaśniewski, Zofia Kuratowska, Zbigniew Siemiątkowski, Maryla Rodowicz, Marek Kotański, Tomasz Raczek, Mariusz Szczygieł[2].
The magazine constantly informed about legal and propaganda actions against LGBT society by various world institutions, including various churches and goverments of countries. Inaczej warned about risks related to, for instance, travelling to the regions of the world wherehomsexual people were physically persecuted. It demanded explanations about Operation Hyacinth and the so-called pink card index (pol. różowe teczki). The magazine informed in detail about politcal deeds of the European union which were supportive of gays and lesbians[2]. On its pages, there were also published personal ads.
