Well-known Czech and Slovak musicians released a song in support of the LGBTQ+ community. The song was created in memory of murdered young men Juraj and Matúš in Bratislava club Tepláreň. With this project, its creators want to help the growth of respect and empathy in Slovakia and at the same time to tell LGBTQ+ and other "minority" communities in our country and in the world that it is

The project was implemented with the support of OSA (Author's Protection Union).
