THE BEST UKRAE GAY CLUBS & BARSGAY CLUBS & BARS UKRAE

I get this horrible imprsn readg some articl, that the former USSR (and pecially Lviv -- which I'm told is more relig and nservative than most plac) 's a batn of discrimatn and ocsnal vlence outsi, and htlers (both gay and "gay-for-pay") the clubs. It is very quiet and there is no gay scene as far as I uld tell. I am an Amerin Gay man livg here now 2 months and will stay until June.

GAY LIFE LVIV? - LVIV FOM

Your gaydar will be out of wack here sce the men go out together and their behavur may be nsired 'gay' other untri, but not here.

I will be travellg to Lviv 15-24 Augt and would like to know more gay or mixed plac to go and people to meet.

GAY LIFE UKRAE 2008

To fully appreciate Lviv you need to book a Holiday Hoeboy, your lol gay iendly tour gui. From the far reach on the stepp of Eurasia, a Amerin gay uple ridg Ukrae wre about their experience this difficult new natn: “For the gay male tourist, you are tly the land of betiful boys (no attu and no body fascism). Kiev boasts a lively gay dis, sna, a few simple bars, even a nu/gay part of our very own “beach” along the Dnipro river…” Wh slow and reful luck a “Gay Life Ukrae” n quietly be achieved.

GAY NIGHTLIFE LVIV

Sce 1933 the Soviet Unn male homosexualy was illegal and prosecuted by USSR Penal Co.

Consensual male homosexual anal terurse was punished by imprisonment of up to three years (Article 122 of the Penal Co of the Ukraian Soviet Socialist Republic).

Although Soviet legislatn has moved the gay populatn to the edge of social life, gay men had several advantag those years (excludg the Stal perd of Soviet history of urse).

GAY VILLAGE LVIV

First of all they were visible for the rt of populatn bee Soviet propaganda never spoke about any gay issu. Homosexualy as a human behavr didn’t officially exist the former Soviet Unn. Most Soviet gay men and lbians felt safer stayg unrground wh their experienc as now.

Bee the Soviet people didn’t know anythg about gay sex was not hard to fd one night stands wh straight partners. The years of Gorbachev’s pertroika allowed some gay liberatn movement. Beg on the wave of general mocratic mov the Soviet society gay liberatn gave polil birth to such well-known and disputable lears as Roman Kal or Valeria Debryanskaya.

GAY GUI OF LVIV

Unfortunately Soviet gay people have lost this unique chance to w equaly and teem. However the Ukrae was the first among the former Soviet republics to repeal crimal rponsibily for non-vlent male homosexual terurse between adults. So this year we anticipate celebratg a full sce the Repeal of crimal prosecutn for nsensual homosexual terurse between adult men our untry.

GAY LVIV

Many gay and straight Ukraians were supervised listeng to the rad return about new Parliament cree that eveng. Article 122 henceforward provid punishment only for homosexual ntacts that volve vlence. However the hop of Ukraian gay men for better life and social acceptance were absolutely va.

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.

GAY UKRAE TRAVEL GUI

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

Associatn of gays, lbians and bisexuals of Nila “Liga” was registered December 1996 but unr the prsure of thori has to stop wh activy.

The typil feature of gay activism Ukrae the years (after disillnment mass gay liberatn anizatns such as Associatn”Hanymed” or Bocharnikova’s Foundatn) was the appearance of numero impostors posg as the lears of Ukraian gay movement. Realizg for sure that no gay movement will be possible Kuchma’s Ukrae, they noticed that there are many philanthropic stutns Wtern untri willg to support gay liberatn procs FSU.

GAY PUB LVIV

They send numero reprentativ to the ternatnal gay nferenc, Gay Gam, etc. The world gay muny greets them wh cheers avoidg the obv tth: the only te tentn of the impostors is to e faster to Wtern money. They are absolutely unknown to gay people of their own untry.

For now the Ukraian gay movement has to be unrground and if you ever hear about gay anizatns this untry or such actns like CSD-celebratns or Gay Pri paras, be sure that people who report them are tellg the tth: they ually do wh aim to obta the money tend for “Ukraian gay liberatn”.

GG: What advice so you offer to gay foreigner’s visg Ukrae”. 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.

? GAY MAP

Please, no cultural imperialism on what is the proper way to be “gay”.

Someone you pick up or meet at a tra statn or sleazy bar at 2 AM may not be the bt reprentative of the gay muny or untry here.

GAY BAR OSSA

By all means vis the gay dis, bar, gay/nu part of our “beach” at Hydropark along the Dnipro River.

Any fashnable bar, fe, club will get a small gay scene late at night. GG: What are the”factns” that seem to be petn gay Kiev (as mentned the over view quoted above)? Couple: Basilly, the olr, over 30 more ‘Soviet’ crowd are so different om the younger, empowered, 20-somethg guys many of whom intify as gay the Wtern mol.
