This research is conducted with the use of comparative, legal dogmatic and descriptive methods. The key assumption is to state that despite lack of universal standards in the issue of recognition of same-sex couples, the institutionalization of the status of homosexual relationships is a dynamic and irreversible phenomenon. It should be noted that countries are aiming to regulate this matter, taking into account the tradition prevailing in a particular society, as well as the current public sentiment and the degree of citizens’ tolerance and sensitivity. At the same time this publication is an invitation to a discussion on the need to introduce appropriate legal solutions, regulating the situation of persons living in a homosexual relationships in Poland.
