The LGBTQIA+ community came together to celebrate pride month in spite of police brutality, military enlistment office kidnappings, and general homophobic attitudes from the population.
Meanwhile, at the capital’s main square gathered the “activists for traditional values”. They waved the ultra-nationalist Right Sector and Azov flags, and chanted “To the Ukraine’s enemies? Death, Death, Death”. They started marching, and later ran towards the location of the pride parade, but by the time they reached it, the participants already have dispersed. Here’s the video.
Based on what you see on Reddit it was the most heckin awesome protest against Putin and nothing else happened
It’s better than Russia actually because having the freedom for Nazis to intimidate LGBTQ+ people and threaten them with death is the pinnacle of freedom, according to Reddit.
Now that’s what I call information control. You’re allowed to know that Kiev is having a wholesome protest, but you’re not allowed to know that they were attacked by Ukrainian fascists 10 minutes in. Not Russians, not Hamas, other Ukrainians.
I expected the US to have kept their Nazi dogs on a leash this time around. That way, they could have painted a rosy picture to their domestic libs - “oh, look, how progressive they are over there! They have pride parades
and Starbucks”It seems like the Nazis just don’t give a fuck sometimes.
Play with fire and you’ll get burned, as the saying goes. The US seems to not understand that.
Or maybe their capitalist hegemony is in some deep shit and the only way the empire can hold out trying to uphold it is playing with fire. Simply said - desperation.

A verified Slava Ukraini moment.
“azov battalion is just a right wing group”
And still they are.
Yes, but have you considered that Russia is still worse? /s
I literally called this on another site: Ukraine would try to have a Pride Parade, only to be hate crimed by the Nazis infesting their country.
Maybe this pride parade was organised by Putin? /s
You have to be really brave to attend a pride parade in the current climate in Ukraine
Funny meme but it also makes me so sad for LGBTQ Ukrainians
LGBTQ Ukrainians are between a rock and a hard place now. For all the governmental posturing about how progressive it is, very little actual progress has been made, and its being curbed by nazis at every step. Still, the LGBTQ community staunchly supports the current nazi government like a good liberals they are.
I can’t be surprised that they are, all the ones who are actually on the left have probably been purged to avoid being blackballed by the government.
All the actual left has either fled the country, went underground or died. As any fascist government, Ukrainian one first came for communists.
Just a photo op.
