Ukraian gay muny was prepared neher for such kd of polil propaganda nor for mocratic stggle for own rights. Frh tablished gay liberatn groups such as Lilia Taranenko’s “Hanymed” Kiev or Oxana Bocharnikova’s Foundatn Kharkov (aka “Pk Panther Group”) haven’t ga any thory among gay populatn bee of s fear to be exposed. Yet that anizatn’s Statute barely mentned gay men and lbians and emphasized the problem of AIDS.

This was typil of the gay liberatn Ukrae.

The only ntext which Ukraian thori allowed homosexuals to be mentned was the ntext of the AIDS epimic problem.

There are some wonrful s to see (Church, non-touristy post-Soviet ways of livg), a young and non-attu gay scene, and most importantly, warm and genuely iendly, non-cynil people. As long as one don’t try to impose any PC attus about what gay life here should be or how “gay” dividuals should live (not be married, apolil, etc) you will be fe.

KIEV GAY SNAS

Any cultural type events which are popular here would naturally attract a number of gay fellows (the Spartak opera pecially). GG: How are gays treated by the public general?

We thk a sizable majory of gay guys get married and fool around on the si–secrets are an accepted Soviet way of life. Jt askg a gay fellow about his fay, job, etc. Gays are more a cursy or Wtern thg for many folks.
