''Gazeta Polska'' said it would include the stickers, which feature an image of a black cross over a Pride flag alongside the slogan.

However, the editor of the magazine dismissed the ruling saying it was "fake news" and censorship, and that the paper would continue distributing the sticker. ''Gazeta Polska'' continued distribution of the stickers, but modified the decal to read "LGBT Ideology-Free Zone". In July 2020, Empik, Poland's largest media chain, refused to stock ''Gazeta Polska'' after it issued the stickers.
