Ukraine is still far from LGBT-friendly, but societal attitudes have improved markedly over the past decade. There’s currently legislation supported by Zelenskyy which is in the works to pass civil unions for same-sex couples.
Sudden and strong moments of injustice have historically bolstered rights for minorities. Stonewall paved the way for the freedoms we have in the US as LGBTQ people today. I wager a more unified and welcoming Ukraine will come from this shared moment of terrible hardship.
Huh, I thought there are no queer-rights in current Ukraine?

Did you really think gay people in Ukraine get stoned or something? Whatever, it isn’t the most LGBT-friendly country ever
