Summary/Abstract: The article is based on research material consisting of ethnographic interviews with young non-normative Poles practising as religious members of the Roman Catholic Church. The author analyses their life narratives, discussing how they are struggling to integrate their religious beliefs with their non-normative gender and sexuality, gradually distancing themselves from the institutional Church and sensing that they a becoming “a minority within a minority”. In the second part of the article, the author focuses on the non-normative religious Poles’ approach to reproduction, family and life plans.
