Tepláreň Live: What Would You Do If Your Children Were Queer?

SATURDAY 11:30 / Café Kušnierik – Trenčín 2026

What do parents go through when their child tells them they are part of the LGBTQ+ community? And what if both of their children are queer? Is there a difference between having a gay son and a trans son? Is it possible to respond with love and acceptance in a world still filled with misinformation about LGBTQ+ people? And how can strained family relationships be healed? Can such a family live a happy and united life?

Meet the remarkable story of the Zaklai family during Tepláreň Live at Pohoda Festival. Parents Peter and Renata, together with their son Patrik, will share their journey towards mutual understanding and acceptance. The discussion will be moderated by Roman Samotný.

You can attend the discussion in person at the festival or watch it online via Tepláreň's Facebook and Instagram channels, as well as the Queer Slovakia YouTube channel. The discussion will be held in Slovak.

Tepláreň Live is a discussion series presenting the lives and personal stories of LGBTQ+ people while promoting a kinder and more inclusive society through education and open dialogue. The event is supported by the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation, Czech Republic Office.

Guests: Renata Zaklai, Peter Zaklai, Patrik Zaklai
