Ukraine during Pride month

I haven't done anything for Pride month, other than the dive into BL stories on YouTube. I thought I'd pass along this documentary news piece by Kyiv Independent about the legal status of LBGTQ people in Ukraine during wartime.

I learned some things from it. For instance, I didn't realize queer equality is a requirement to join the European Union, because anti-discrimination protections are part of the Fundamental Rights charter for the EU. Ukraine, however, cannot change its national constitution as long as they remain under martial law. This prohibition was intended to maintain democratic stability during unstable times caused if authoritarians (who like martial law) usurped power.
