Ukraine to consider legalising same-sex marriage amid war
BBC ^ | 07-12-2022 | Sophie Williams

The petition has more than 28,000 signatures, meaning President Volodymyr Zelensky now has 10 days to respond.

This has caused particular problems for LGBT people signing up for the military following Russia's invasion.

For example, under Ukrainian law if someone in a same-sex relationship dies, their partner cannot collect their body or bury them.

The online petition says: "At this time, every day can be the last."

You better believe it.

It's a very Christian nation but they've lost their way since they gained their independence.

The Democrats must have been doing some really awful stuff in Ukraine.

The Democrats are trying to justify their thievery in Ukraine by trotting out these liberal issues.

See where a little tolerance gets us? Queers will destroy the world if allowed.
I say put them back in the closet with extreme malice. Keep them there for the sake of humanity.

$100 billion + a wrecked economy to defend Ukraine’s sovereign, allegedly democratic right to go LGBT?

We (USA), imho, should be on neither side of it.
And its unfortunate that elements of the US government are doing their damnedest to get us embroiled in it.

Amid the steady rain of artillery, a little break to make a moral gesture.

Collectivists are a non sequitur.

This homosexual marriage bill will also sanctify adoptions by married same sex couples in Ukraine.

Interesting how Leftist News Media like the BBC keep saying or hoping gay marriage is adopted and the Putin Posse comes right out acting as if it’s already happened.

Old but useful saying:

Don’t count your chickens before they hatch.

28,000 signatures on a Petition in a Country with 44 Million don’t mean squat.
