%X The paper is a summary of a pilot study applying George Lakoff’s concept of moral politics in a Polish context. The part of the study under discussion involved an analysis of articles published in Polish left-wing press between 2019 and 2021, focusing on the issue of LGBTQIA+ rights. The results of the analysis support Lakoff’s thesis that the way socio-political views are framed and expressed depends on an implicitly applied cognitive model of morality. The author discusses the conceptual metaphors of morality applied by the studied authors, relating them to the nurturant parent model of morality postulated by Lakoff, and providing preliminary insights into how Polish moral politics differs from its American counterpart.
