What do Jan Musil, Filip Vaněk, Tereza Mašková and other LUI personalities wish us for the New Year?
Fashion stylist Filip Vaněk
I guess the only thing I wish for everyone is that this time will pass. May people avoid trouble and may we live with dignity. In short, let the next year be better!
Moderator Jan Musil
The year 2020 is in the past. Fortunately. Although in many ways it brought wonderful news, it is better to postpone it. And what to wish for? What do you wish for? No, otherwise. What do you wish for us in 2021? Health, health and health! And then also good people around you, people with reason, heart and insight. I wish all that for us. If there is health and good people around us, we will also have happiness and everything we need. May 2021 be better than 2020!
Fashion designer and stylist Lukáš Macháček
This year has been challenging for all of us and its impact will be even more challenging... But for me, there is always one cure for all the pain, and that is a smile! That's why my advice for 2021 is SMILE! We can do it all!
Singer and presenter Renato Salerno
My wish for all of us in 2021 is to be determined, to love ourselves and to give our maximum to our relationships with people who are "our blood". What is the necessity after all? To nurture our personality and our peace within us, no one wants our nasty moods. Let's deal with anything uncomfortable diplomatically. If we fret, it will always be water for someone else's mill. We need to kick everything that has been neglected, neglected, neglected, neglected for whatever reason. It's never too late. It always takes some motivation with a clear goal, whether it's things for pleasure, experiences or dreams made manifest. You can't move forward without a motor. Good luck and courage for that year 2021. I know you guys know how good it feels to be!
Influencer and blogger Adrian Brandýs
Until next year, I wish us all good vaccinations and as few side effects as possible. :) But seriously, for the new year I wish all LUI magazine readers health, love and tolerance. Enjoy the moments with your loved ones to the fullest and rejoice in the little things. In the end, it doesn't matter if you fulfill every resolution you make, but that you enjoy the next year and put a smile on someone else's face. So happy new year!
Prague Pride Chairman Czeslaw Walek
The outgoing year was terrible in many ways. The pandemic turned all our lives upside down - at best we started working from home, at worse we lost our jobs or struggled to survive. On several occasions, the government locked us in our homes and cut us off from loved ones. At home, where many unbroken people had to spend time in an environment that was terribly difficult for them. Many more people began to turn to sbarvouven.cz counseling during this period to deal with coming out in the family. Online became our new reality. We at Prague Pride also adopted online and brought many of our activities, including a large part of the festival, online. Still, I am extremely happy that Prague Pride took place this year. It was a sad year from the point of view of LGBT+ people, not least because it showed in all its glory how the government has forgotten us in the crisis. All the measures it has issued have neglected our needs and situation. This just proves time and time again that marriage for all is the only right solution. So what do I wish us all for the new year? That 2021 will bring us back to normal, that it will be normal to kiss, hug, shake hands at a meeting, that these gestures will return to everyday life, that we will not be afraid to be close to each other again. I wish us 2021 to be fair. There will be an election in October, and our choice will greatly affect how marriage turns out for everyone. I wish us all to be healthy above all else!
Smiling pastry chef Mirka van Gils
I send all people of goodwill much strength to lift their heads and step into the new year 2021 with faith in goodness and love. Let's keep our health and enthusiasm strong, these are the right ingredients to bake the most delicate cake called a happy life. Mirka wishes you all many moments of baking together from the bottom of her heart and with love!
Janis Sidovský and Pavel Vitek
Pavel and I have been together for 33 years this year. Our life has been like a secret treasure. When no one was looking, we dug it up and hid it again in public. The secret ended only in 2000, when we told our family and journalists about our love. I remember the reactions of the people around us, the long and not always pleasant journey we went through. I know that the younger generation may experience coming out in the same way, even though times have changed for the better in many ways. That's why I wish everyone to come to terms with themselves, thrive and be happy. No matter who they love.
Dancer and influencer Andy Zítková
Hello to all the readers of LUI magazine. I would like to wish you all the best for 2021 from the bottom of my heart. May you continue to surround yourself with great and inspiring people in the coming year and spend lots of time with those you really care about. Remember to pursue your dreams and go after what you enjoy and find fulfilling on a daily basis. Be yourself. I wish you success and happiness!
President of the Kapka naděje Foundation Vendula Pizingerová
I wish everyone not to be afraid in these strange times. :) As a human being, I have a lot of strength and love in me! We just need to know how to use it more!
Singer and actor Marcel Bendig
Greetings to all the readers of LUI magazine and I wish everyone from the bottom of my heart much love, happiness and most importantly health, which is the most important thing in these difficult times of ours. What will be my New Year's resolution? I have the same one every year and I wish that we all start being kind, nice and loving to each other. So I wish everyone a happy new year!
Pianist Jan Vesely
This year has been a challenging one for all of us in the arts, but we have each learned to adapt and innovate our approach to our skills. At the same time, we have returned to our traditional values, which primarily include family and everyday life. Things that we had neglected for a long time. This year has definitely been a year of moving forward and preparing for the year ahead. Just as LUI magazine sees equality among same-sex couples, the rest of us felt equality among ourselves. In fact, this situation has not been easy for any of us. I wish all LUI readers the best of luck for the new year!

From the bottom of my heart, I would like to wish you the best of health and may you start the New Year on the right foot. Even in this difficult time, you need to think positively. I repeat, just think. :) Have a nice day and take care of yourselves. I hope and strongly believe that I will see you in the new year!
Actor Vojtěch Babišta
Hello to all readers and fans of LUI magazine. This year has not been easy at all. And for none of us. Both professionally and personally. I think this year has given us a lot of experience and opened our eyes in many things. But I believe that the coming year will be much better! I wish you all the best for the new year. May all your dreams and goals come true. That you will be happy and satisfied in life. But... most of all, I wish you good health. Because that's the most important thing we have in life. Enjoy each day as if it were your last and fight for the things you want.
Actor Daniel Krejcik
Until 2021, I wish everyone to leave an imprint of belonging and the knowledge that it is good to help each other. And if only our eyes and ears are peeking out at the world from under our hats and cloaks, then let's all take notice of the world around us and help it make sense again. And please think of us in 2021 - if the culture survives, the nation survives!
And in the end, we will join in too! The entire LUI Magazine team thanks its readers for their loyalty and wishes you the best for 2021! We look forward to seeing you again next year! We have a lot of new projects coming up and you will be there. Cheers!
