The war brings an urgency to fight for LGBT rights in Ukraine.

Campaigners hope that a new law will show LGBT soldiers that the country they are risking their lives for cares about them.

A draft civil union law that would give same-sex partnerships legal status for the first time was introduced this year to Ukraine’s parliament, which is still functioning despite the war.

Same-Sex Unions in Premodern Europe (John Boswell) – So many timelines of #QueerHistory start with #Stonewall & #OscarWilde. This book sheds light on a long history of queer unions of love, but personal and church-sanctioned. With so much of our history erased or painfully reinterpreted to be as hetero as possible, this is an essential record of our forebearers' hearts & legacy.
