LGBTQ+ Ukraine
Don't be complacent about rights affecting Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Questioning (or Queer) (LGBTQ) people. Rights vary greatly by country or legal jurisdiction ā encompassing everything from the legal recognition of same-sex marriage to the death penalty for homosexuality. According to Wikipedia as of July 2020, the penal codes of nine United Nations-recognised countries, Afghanistan, Brunei, Iran, Iraq, Mauritania, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, and Yemen, impose the death penalty for homosexuality.
In support of our dear Ukrainian friends. Ukraine has a strong LGBTQ+ community and networks. However given the political situation (March 2022) we have removed our Ukrainian venues for the time being for their security and the wider LGBTQ+ communities in the country.
To the LGBTQ+ communities of Ukraine, we wish you all well in these difficult times and hope that your country returns to being a peaceful place soon.
