Ukrainian musicians have recorded the manifesto track “Different Levels” (“Different. Equal”) about tolerance to the LGBT community, and everyone is invited to join the project. The idea is to get across to society "that we are all equal regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity or any other distinctions," according to the KyivPride Facebook page.
“Anyone can become part of the project, support LGBT + and sing with famous artists – just link to the site and confirm your tolerance with a simple movement of a raised hand. Having recorded your vote on the project platform, you will receive a personalized version of "Different Levels" with your own voice at the end of the song, which can be downloaded or shared with your friends on social networks,” the message says.
The Ukrainians who joined the project also form an interactive “map of tolerant people” – currently there are 7013 “different and equal people who support the rights of LGBT adepts”.
As reported by the UOJ, on June 5, 2020, KyivPride public organization, uniting representatives of LGBT community, held a rally near the Cabinet of Ministers quoting the epistle of the Apostle Paul.
