Talk:LGBT rights in Ukraine

thread_title: Spelling of 'Kharkiv'

message: I copied this sentence here because I was wondering about the meaning:
:Ukrainians in general are not very accepting of gays, with only 15% agreeing with the existence of same-sex couples.
Is the sentence trying to say that only 15% of Ukranians believe that same-sex couples exist, or that 85% think that same-sex couples should be legislated against, or that only 15% of Ukranians support something like gay marriage?  -Seth Mahoney 23:38, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Agreeing with the existence of?

message: I am glad the subject of gay rights in my country is discussed here. I'll ask a lawyer as for military exemtion for gays on the basis that homosexuality's still considered a mental disorder here (is it really?). I know it for a dact that Ukraine was the first Ex-Soviet state to have abolished the infamous criminal law article punishing ays through imprisonment in 1991 (which, ironically, was only applicable to gay men and not to gay women). Also, the current president Yuschenko never said a word to support gay Ukrainians, so I don't think he's any supportive.
Keep the discussion going!

replies: text: Ah... one correction: Ukraine was the first UN-recognized post-Soviet state to legalize. Ukraine was beaten by 10 days by the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria, which literally burnt the constitution when it declared independence, and didn't re-illegalize homosexuality. Of course, that ended when Maskhadov thought he'd negotiate with the extremist Islamist conservatives around Udugov to try to achieve some sort of "national unity" (as if Udugov wasn't a foreign agent from the beginning...), and instead of a Chechen Republic suddenly we had an "Islamic Republic". Then it was legal again (de facto) for the Chechen Republic (in exile) after the Islamic Republic split into the Emirate and the secular Chechen Republic of Ichkeria. Buuut... Kadyrov, Russia's puppet instated Sharia in '08 now. --Yalens (talk) 22:45, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

message: Ladies and gentlemen, the sources for this article are certainly bad. But not as bad as their correct attribution to the particular claims in the text. Hope those sources do not really state that ethnic Ukrainian gays are undertolerated by the Ukrainian society). Needs a lot of work. Ukrained2012 (talk) 23:21, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

text: Did do some fixing up the last hours; but I am a bit fed up doing that now and article still needs lots of work... I did notice that before I fixed the article up the situation of homosexuals in Ukraine was made to look better then it is in reality (in other words before 11 October 2013‎ this Wiki-article did nor reflected reality). — Yulia Romero • Talk to me! 18:55, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  So-o-o bad(

message: Can anyone confirm that this is true? It says both are legal, but how??? If same-sex couples are not permitted to adopt, surely gay couples don't have access to surrogacy. And as for lesbian couples...well if a single women has an access to IVF that is fine, but that doesn't mean a lesbian couple can do the same. For lesbian couples to have access to IVF would mean that lesbian couples are recognised by law, and in Ukraine they are not. Just because one women who lives with another women can do it doesn't mean they will both be recgnised as parents. 11Raccoon1  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 11raccoon1 (talk • contribs) 12:55, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: Surogacy for gay couples and IVF for lesbian couples

message: In the opening paragraph (introduction), last line.
This is a random statistic that is not relevant. We are talking about Ukraine, not Russia. If we want to include Ukraine's neighbours as a comparison, then include ALL or at least a sizeable representation of them.
"Russia, with 25%, had the lowest percent of support. [4]"
This is a stand-alone statistic that looks like an after-thought and does not make sense.

thread_title:  Relevance; Ukraine is not Russia 

message: You also have to visit it "usually placed in the same wards with patients who are mentally Ill" place if you want to get a driver's license simply because it is a place of work of doctors psychiatrists. So I think that this is "usually placed in the same wards with patients who are mentally Ill" unnecessary clarification  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.150.122.66 (talk) 17:01, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: A clique of editors seem to be implementing a purge of any mentionings of notable LGBTQ Ukrainians and LGBTQ activism in Ukraine.
In particular, the corresponding section in the List of people from Ukraine listing notable LGBTQ Ukrainians and Ukrainian LGBTQ activists with Wikipedia pages, has been first censored and then completely purged by this clique of editors, under the obviously false pretext of such entries in the list being "unecyclopedic"(!).
Please review the following revision history, between July 27 and July 29, 2020 , https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_people_from_Ukraine&action=history .
The purged list of notable LGBTQ Ukrainians and Ukrainian LGBTQ activists is as follows:
LGBTQ Ukrainians, pro-European and pro-Western LGBTQ Ukrainian activists
* Bogdan Globa 
* Mike Enzi – US Senator from Wyoming 
* Maurice Hinchey – former New York Congressman (Ukrainian mother)
* Volodymyr Horowitz 
* Olha Kobylianska
* Alla Nazimiv - US Ukrainian actress, also known as an active member of the Hollywood LGBTQ community
* Anna Sharyhina - influential Ukrainian lesbian, LGBTQ leader
* Stav Strashko - distinguished Ukrainian Israeli transgender actress, passionate advocate of transgender lifestyle in Ukraine
* Edward Tarletski - Belarusian-Ukrainian LGBTQ activist
Please help to monitor and report the disruptive anti-LGBTQ editors and please help to edit List of people from Ukraine so that it objectively reflects the role of the LGBTQ people in the past, current and future Ukrainian politics, life, arts and science!— Preceding unsigned comment added by Special:Contributions/2601:646:8500:2DD0:D429:B0BF:9012:558F) 1 August 2020

thread_title:  On-going anti-LGBTQ purges and censorship in the [[List of people from Ukraine]] 

message: Following the news in Ukraine and/or being a reader of LGBT rights in Ukraine#Pride parades and rallies you could have noticed that pride parades and rallies are now annually happening Ukraine's biggest cities since about 2019. The last one being held in Zaporizhia a few days ago. My question is if its still worth mentioning all of them in this Wikipedia article or should they only be listed at the Wikipedia page List of LGBT events? — Yulia Romero • Talk to me! 18:02, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pride parades and rallies in Ukraine now seem to be a regular thing.... Should all the post 2019 Pride parades be listed in this article?
