Queer Ukrainians on the frontlines

About this episode

Ukraine was never a utopia for gays and transgender people, but activists there say things have improved over the years.

Today we talk to two LGBTQ+ Ukrainians, one who’s fighting against Russia for his country — and another who fled Ukraine but is continuing her fight for LGBTQ+ rights. Read the full transcript here.

Host: The Times: Daily News from the L.A. Times producer David Toledo
