“Ukrainians holding their pride march in a subway because of russian bombs are immeasurably more powerful and real than any western tankie with a hammer-and-sickle or a Lenin profile on a trans flag.”
I just want to correct MelodiousFunk @slrpnk. net.
.world preemptively defederated hexbear as a last resort.
Still love that logic there
Really showcases our posting power
Ukrainians didn’t “hold their pride march in a subway”.
10 minutes after the 2024 Kyiv pride march started the marchers were dispersed and ordered onto trains by police in response to a large and violent right wing counter demonstration. The Ukrainian right has organised violent counter demonstrations every year since it’s inception in 2012. They regularly prematurely end the march and have hospitalised dozens of marchers.
Violent crimes against queer people are not legally considered hate crimes in Ukraine. The punishment for assaulting a queer person is often just a small (less than 100 Euro) fine. The main goal of Kyiv pride is to change this.
“russian bombs” did not cause this, but they haven’t helped. There are very few safe places for internally displaced LGBTQ+ people, especially those from Kharkiv and Donbass. They find it harder to find shelter and work than other IDPs, and are subject to heightened rates of physical and sexual violence.
Rare non emoji civility post. Holy moly
They’re holding pride in a subway just in case anyone of fighting age shows up there won’t be anywhere to escape.
Reminder that Ukrainian trans women aren’t allowed to leave the country because the state does not recognize their chosen gender.
They might also be hiding from the Ukronazis who attack pride parades.
They sure think about us a lot
I’m surprised those libs aren’t charging us rent
The chances at least of of them is charging at least one of us real life actual rent is nonzero
I would like to wish everyone a happy pride, especially the HATERS and LOSERS at hexbear dot net who don’t support our big and beautiful military allies.happuy pride you FUCMKIN TAMNKIES
