Last month, Ukrainian MP Inna Sovsun submitted a bill calling for the legal recognition of same-sex partnerships. The bill has since received support from several Ukrainian political parties and is now making its way through parliament, marking yet another step forward in Ukraine’s march towards LGBTQ+ acceptance.
Sovsun – a member of the Holos, Ukraine’s smallest opposition party – announced her bill via tweets that urged parliament to legalize same-sex marriage by the end of the year. In mid-March, Sovsun tweeted that 17 other MPs had joined her as co-authors of the bill.
Many younger LGBTQ+ Ukrainian activists attribute this transformation to Ukraine’s 2014 EuroMaidan revolution, which decisively turned the country towards Europe. Since the revolution, lawmakers have consistently passed pro-LGBTQ+ laws to buttress Ukraine’s EU membership bid.
