KIEV - Ukrainian politicians and foreign diplomats joined thousands marching in a gay pride parade in Kiev on Sunday, the biggest and most peaceful ever in the former Soviet country.
Sunday's march in Kiev was part of"Pride Month" celebrated by lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people around the world. "I am taking part for the fifth time. Ukraine is making significant progress compared to previous years, security and organization are much better." Ruslana Panukhnyk, one of the organizers of the capital's annual gay pride march, told journalists after the event that about 8,000 people had attended it far more than 5,000 last year.
The government has increased support for LGBT rights since a Western-backed leadership came to power in 2014, but critics say homophobic attitudes remain relatively widespread.
