Ukrainian Kyiv-based pride organization asks Canadians to open homes to LGBTQ refugees | CBC News 01/08/2023

"Canada has taken in more than 132,000 Ukrainian refugees, but some organizations are still looking for hosts to house more, particularly refugees who identify as LGBTQ." KyivPride Canada is trying to help in any way possible: together with the We Support LGBTQ Ukraine Fund and KyivPride, we are seeking people in Canada who can accept and assist LGBTQ+ Ukrainias fleeing the war.

KyivPride Canada and KyivPride, together with the Canadian We Support LGBTQ Ukraine Fund, have launched an initiative to support the LGBTQ+ people coming to Canada from Ukraine within the Canada-Ukraine Authorization for Emergency Travel program. The community members who are willing to come to Canada go through a process of verification prior to their arrival.

If you live in Canada and willing to help the Ukrainian LGBTQ+ community, there are a few ways you can support the newcomers:

1. Provide temporary accommodation in a city or a town in Canada;
2. Assist a Ukrainian LGBTQ+ newcomer to secure a job in Canada;
3. Be a "Local Connection" and help a newcomer print themselves in their new community.

All assistance is welcome.

Please support Ukrainian LGBTQI community in their pursuit of equal marriage.

Ukraine: Say yes and legalize same-sex marriage! In war-torn Ukraine, “every day can be the last,” and same-sex couples deserve “the opportunity to start a family and have an official document to prove it.” Same-sex couples must have access to the rights the government provides for married people.

The war maps circulated by the foreign media often show Russia's military advances (marked in red) only and almost never Ukraine's successful counteroffensives (marked yellow). This map by Nathan Ruser of the Australian Strategic Policy Institute tells an entirely different story of what is really happening on the battlefield, which is far from doom and gloom that Russia wants everyone to believe in.
