After Ukraine forbade the holding of marches in response to the Russian invasion, the Liverpool City Region Pride Foundation has agreed to sponsor KyivPride, a Pride celebration in respect of Ukraine.
Thousands of people, including hundreds of LGBT+ Ukrainians, are anticipated to attend the event and march through the city center.
Ukraine Pride
The Liverpool City Region Pride Foundation seeks to carry on the tradition of hosting Eurovision on behalf of Ukraine by showcasing the significance of the international community and its enduring relationship with the nation. Over 15,000 people participated in the yearly celebration, which includes music, dancing, and costumes, in Liverpool last year.
One of KyivPride’s organizers, Edward Reese, hopes that the march would be utilized as a demonstration against equal marriage in Ukraine. He argues that a partner of a homosexual soldier who perishes in battle cannot inherit anything or be given any information.

- KyivPride organizer Edward Reese plans march against equal marriage in Ukraine.
- KyivPride, Ukraine’s largest LGBT+ festival, celebrated a calm march before the invasion.
Even when there is no direct fighting, rational missiles can murder anyone living in any Ukrainian city at any time. Speeches will kick off the free celebration at St. George’s Plateau at 10:30 BST, and it will proceed through the city to the seaside.
Along with Ukrainian flags, rainbow banners, and images of LGBT+ soldiers serving on the front lines, hundreds of LGBT+ Ukrainians and their sympathizers are anticipated to march. More armaments and assistance from the world and Britain are expected to be required by the event.
The largest LGBT+ festival in Ukraine is called KyivPride, which was founded in 2012. Even though the march has always been the focus of violence, organizers celebrated their first-ever calm march in September 2021, just months before the invasion.
Lenny Emson, a founding member, urged all groups in the UK and Europe to support the march and stressed that global solidarity allows LGBT+ people to continue their protests.
