Huh, I thought there are no queer-rights in current Ukraine?
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.
Ukraine is hardly a beacon of western social liberal democracy.
But it's also FAR from Russia levels of shit
Did you really think gay people in Ukraine get stoned or something? Whatever, it isn't the most LGBT-friendly country ever
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.
