pigeoninthepark: "Ukraine is Sodom"

"Ukraine just held its first Pride event in years despite Russia’s continued invasion"

Ukrainians carry photos of fallen soldiers
in Pride Parade:

Here are the facts:

1. There are about 44 million Ukrainians
2. Kiev's population is around 3 million
3. Kiev's June 17 Pride Parade attracted a few hundred -- looked to me in the photos like maybe 250 but reports claimed 500
4. The parade lasted 30 minutes and walked 100 yards.
   It was 100% peaceful.

5. Besides Ukraine there are only two western style democracies which make same-sex civil unions illegal -- Italy and Greece -- those due largely to the strength of the Roman Catholic and Greek Orthodox churches.

6. There is currently a draft law in Ukraine's parliament to legalize same-sex civil partnerships.
   Pres. Zelenskyy has endorsed the new law, but there is no date set for a vote in parliament.

So, if you are on a desperate search for Sodom or Gomorrah, Ukraine is probably not your first stop.
But here is a Gay Pride demonstration in Moscow, in 2020:
