On April 26, activists in Lviv disrupted a planned lecture provocatively titled «Jesus – a queer?», organized by the public organization «Insight Lviv LGBT+» under the slogan «LGBT and Christianity – in search of dialogue».
Even at the announcement stage, this event sparked outrage among members of right-wing radical organizations, as they believed the title of the lecture clearly indicated yet another attempt by the LGBT community to mock Christian values.
The organizers of the protest stated that they «will not allow our land to be desecrated and the institution of family and traditional Christian values to be tarnished».
Earlier, the UOJ reported that on Good Friday, an LGBT film festival was to open in Kyiv.
