Krivoy Rog representatives of the LGBT community staged an “equality march” - several dozen representatives of non-traditional sexual minorities marched through the city.
This was reported by the local portal 0564, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to the organizer of the event, chairman of Krivbasspride Boris Zlotchenko, many local gays and lesbians were afraid to participate in the action, so comrades from Kyiv came to support them.
“We want to show people the problems that we have and we want to encourage others to dialogue. We don’t want to make provocations, we want dialogue and are ready to help others solve problems as well,” Zlotchenko said.
Local media also note that the exact route of the action was kept secret until recently. As a result, she was escorted along Eduard Fuchs Street under the cover of several hundred police officers.
