Russia is a homophobic country that kills and imprisons people every year. In Ukraine, there is an acknowledgement of the military LGBT, which includes hundreds of people who fight the country against the Russian aggressor.
And now these LGBT people, together with other members of the military, defend against Russian attacks and free cities from occupation. It is Ukrainian soldiers, among whom are hundreds of LGBT people, who are fighting against the Russian homophobic military machine, which threatens the very fundamentals of human rights in both Ukraine and Europe. During the international pride month, it is important to talk about the war in Ukraine. Support Ukrainian LGBT+ organizations and Ukrainian LGBT+ military. The list below:
