Gay Forum Addressed Ukraine President

KYIV – Representatives of the gay movement ask Ukraine’s President Viktor Yanukovych to ensure in Ukraine civil equality for sexual minorities. The authors of the address of the gay forum to the president, published on February 25, 2010, incorrectly quote the Declaration of the All-Ukrainian Council of Churches and Religious Organizations as to the negative attitude toward homosexuality and other church documents, claiming that these documents allegedly support the initiatives of the minorities, reports the Institute of Religious Freedom.

The authors of the address demand approval of complex anti-discrimination laws and legalization of gay families.
