Nationalism and “European values”: Is LGBT winning?

However, the topic of the lecture had nothing to do with the "gender" issue at all. It was called "National Identity of Ukrainians in the 21st Century". Moreover, Chaplyhin is one of the most patriotic philosophers in Ukraine.
And here we come to the core of the problem of contemporary Ukrainian society.
On the one hand, patriotism, bordering on radical nationalism, is on trend. On the other hand, there is the aspiration to align with "European values" in all their diversity. But here's the problem: nationalism is deeply conservative and does not accept LGBT ideology. Yet in the EU, this ideology is now mainstream.
So, who will win? Our patriotic nationalists naively hope that they will be able to "run between the raindrops". But the case with the Mohyla Academy shows that these hopes are in vain. It's only going to get worse further.
By the way, the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy was founded by the Kyiv Metropolitan Peter Mohyla on the basis of the Kyiv Brotherhood School at the Kyiv-Brotherhood Epiphany Monastery. Did he ever imagine that in his institution, lecturers would be "banned" for holding traditional views on marriage?
