Ollove

Ollove (officially OLLOVE z. s.) is a Czech non-governmental non-profit organization and association (spolek) that brings together LGBT people and their friends in and around Olomouc. Founded on 1 August 2012 and based in Olomouc, the association organizes cultural and educational activities, mainly around gender and sexuality issues, with the aim of opening dialogue between different groups. According to its own account, OLLOVE was co-founded by people with a long-standing interest in equality for all regardless of sexual orientation or gender. The founders believed in creating a society without hostility or discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender. Because people fear the unknown, and because what is visible and audible is more easily accepted by mainstream society, the organization decided to introduce Olomouc to life outside the heteronormative framework. It organizes a wide range of cultural, social and educational activities aimed at helping to create an open, tolerant society diverse in gender and sexual orientation. It works to break down stereotypes, to acquaint mainstream society with the diverse face of queer life, and to help people outside heteronormative boundaries find their place in society. Given the large number of young people in the university city of Olomouc, it also strives to promote intergenerational contact and understanding and to create space for dialogue between different groups. The association grew organically out of the long-time organizers of the Ozvěny event of the Mezipatra film festival and gradually attracted more members, especially students, staff, graduates and supporters associated with Palacký University. Its events include the Ozvěny Mezipater film festival, regular lectures, outings, free HIV testing and public entertainment evenings. It cooperates with organizations such as HateFree Culture, PROUD, Prague Pride, Amnesty International and Konsent, and also works with Palacký University Olomouc on events such as the Olomouc May Festival. Ollove's logo is symbolic: some people are single, some are in pairs, some are in larger groups; boys date boys, girls date girls, and sometimes people are heterosexual. Whether people are gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, intersex, asexual or heterosexual, all are welcome. The bubbles in the logo are connected in different combinations, symbolizing this diversity and inclusion.

OLLOVE z. s. is a Czech non-governmental non-profit organization and association (spolek) that brings together the LGBT community and its friends in Olomouc and its surroundings. It was founded on 1 August 2012 and is based in Olomouc. The association organizes cultural and educational events, primarily on topics of gender and sexuality, with the goal of opening dialogue between different groups of people. According to the association's own account, OLLOVE arose from the connection of people who have long been interested in equality between people regardless of sexuality or gender. They believe in creating a society where sexuality or gender is not a reason for hostility or discrimination. Because people fear the unknown and because what is visible and audible is better accepted by the majority society, they decided to introduce Olomouc to life outside the heteronormative framework. They organize a wide range of cultural, social and educational activities that help create an open, tolerant, gender- and sexually diverse society. They want to break down stereotypes, acquaint the majority society with the diverse aspects of queer life, and help people outside heteronormative boundaries find their place in society. With regard to the large number of young people in the university city of Olomouc, they also strive for intergenerational contact and understanding. They create space for dialogue between different groups of people and hope to help create the open society they wish for in the future. The association grew organically out of long-time organizers of the Ozvěny festival of Mezipatra and gradually took on additional members, especially from among students, employees, graduates and supporters associated with Palacký University. The association hopes to grow further in the coming years so that it can offer the most diverse range of activities possible. Among the events organized by OLLOVE are, for example, the Ozvěny Mezipater film festival, regular lectures, trips, free HIV testing, and entertainment evenings for the public. It cooperates with organizations such as HateFree Culture, PROUD, Prague Pride, Amnesty International and Konsent, and also cooperates with Palacký University in Olomouc on various events such as the Olomouc Majáles. The association's logo carries symbolic meaning: some people are single, some are in a couple, others in larger numbers; boys date boys, girls date girls, and sometimes someone is heterosexual. Whether people are gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, intersex, asexual or heterosexual, everyone is welcome. The bubbles of the logo connect in various combinations and are a symbol of diversity and inclusion.
