Ukrainian lawmakers pass LGBTQ-inclusive media regulation bill
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy backed civil partnerships law in August.
Lawmakers in Ukraine on Thursday unanimously approved a media regulation bill that will ban hate speech and incitement based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
«It’s a big step for Ukraine, to start adoption of our legislation to European values», Olena Shevchenko, chair of Insight, a Ukrainian LGBTQ and intersex rights group, told the Washington Blade. «We hope our government will recognise LGBTQI people as equal as soon as possible».
