Brighton Pride 2022.... Before I say anymore I would like to say a big thank you to Janet who kindly took this photo and sent it to me. So after a long wait we finally got there... Can now breath the words of relief as we all now recover from those blisters on our feet or our heads after drinking or if your just totally unfit like me the tired from the long weekend. We got to #march in the #parade this year and all got to see our friends old and new and some amazing costumes... well we all had nearly three years to plan them... Lol So my costume the #unicorn called #pheonixblaze shown in this photo was created for #BrightonPride2020 which we never saw, it was only supposed to be on display at #Brighton, thou other opportunist events came around like the #QueensPlatinumjubilee, where I had added his gold #crown, then their was #prideinlondon so I just had to get into that #parade, which I did and the the horrid times our friends in #Ukraine who are at war against Russia and Vladimir Putin #ukrainepride it's heart breaking to see what their going through, so after a friend telling me about the the Ukraine LGBTQ Soldiers #ukrainelbgtqsoldiers that wear the badge on their uniforms when going to fight a against #Russia to save their country. So I just had to incorporate this badge into my costume in some way to show our support during these hard times that should NOT be happening in 2022/23. Look closely you will see the badge on a white flag yellow and blue. We are all thinking if you over there in Ukraine 🇺🇦. So that was pride done and dusted for another year, let's look forward to the next one in 2023 and let loose our creative minds. Happy Pride Everyone..

LGBTQ Ukrainians are fighting both against Russia and for acceptance as loyal citizens.

Украинское ЛГБТ+сообщество сражается на фронтах войны

Война объединила украинское общество. Как и везде, в Украине было немало ненависти по отношению к ЛГБТ+людям. Однако в последние годы наметилась положительная тенденция, активисты/ки добивались принятия антидискриминационного закона, криминализирующего преступления на почве ненависти по признаку сексуальной ориентации и гендерной идентичности.

Сейчас ЛГБТ+сообщество активно защищает страну от внешнего агрессора и помогает вооружённым силам. Анастасия, лесбиянка и активистка, рассказала Euronews, что занимается гражданским и военным волонтёрством с 2014 года. После 24 февраля она стала работать наводчицей военного дрона. Анастасия является участницей организации, которая помогает солдат(к)ам и ветеран(к)ам из ЛГБТ+сообщества. Она лично знает 20 ЛГБТ+людей, которые сейчас воюют, не скрывая свою ориентацию или гендерную идентичность.

Основная цель сообщества — показать, что они такие же люди, как и все остальные, и тоже противостоят оккупантам, защищая свою землю. По мнению Анастасии, если Россия победит в войне, то жизнь ЛГБТ+людей в Украине точно станет хуже.

В качестве жеста доброй воли организация Ukrainepride даже собрала деньги в пользу полка «Азов», который воюет за Мариуполь. Известно, что в этом полке всегда были сильны ультраправые взгляды, его участники в прошлом совершали нападения на ЛГБТ+сообщество и ромов, проживающих на территории Украины. Ukrainepride уточняет, что они отправили деньги той части «Азова», члены которой в подобных нападениях не участвовали. В целом, полк был очень удивлён, когда узнал, что им решили помочь ЛГБТ+.
