"Putin's ideology is homophobia": Ukraine's LGBTQ+ community fights for freedom on the frontline

Kyiv Pride was never supposed to be held outside of Ukraine's capital, but among the rainbow flags at Warsaw Pride in neighboring Poland, Ukraine's ubiquitous blue and yellow stood out.

"I'm here because I can't go to Pride in Ukraine," one participant said. "We're all people regardless of who you love."

Central Europe's biggest Pride march kept a focus on Ukraine's fight against Russia, as well as its LGBTQ+ community's fight for equal rights.
