Vladimír Kubanka was born on October 30, 1958 in Šumperk. His mother, Alžbeta, née Hudecová, was born in 1924 in Komárno. Vladimír’s father Ondrej was born in 1919 in Banská Štiavnica. At the time of Vladimir’s birth, his family lived in Šumperk. Then they moved to Bratislava, where his father found a job in Slovnaft as a cultural officer for the trade union movement. He attended a nine-year elementary school in Krasňany, in Bratislava, from 1965. From this period, he also remembered how the female teachers beat him at school. He soon had to transfer due to the fact that, due to his father’s disagreements with the management, the female teachers wanted to drop him. After that, he had no more problems with grades. His parents divorced in 1967. At that time, Brother Bohumil lived in a dormitory and also worked in Slovnaft. Vladimír finished elementary school in 1975. For further studies, he wanted to choose something related to nuclear physics or astrophysics. In the end, he decided on a new factory in Trnava. After school, he was briefly employed at a nuclear power plant and then went to study teaching, majoring in mathematics and physics. In practice, however, he worked mainly as an IT expert (programmer, analyst, technician). In his youth, Vladimír mainly met men, but he considered himself a bisexual person. Currently, pansexual people fall under the label. He already did education about his orientation in college. He also collaborated with experts on an enhancer for HIV diagnosis. During socialism, he had records in his medical report about his homosexuality, which was considered a mental illness until 1993. He became a member of the Ganymédes association, but stopped his activities with them when he moved with his mother to Banská Bystrica in the late 1990s. There he briefly joined the Social Democratic Party of Slovakia. Since 2011, he has regularly participated in the Bratislava and Košice Prides, but also in Vienna and Prague.
