Ukraine: Spirit of Hope and Defiance

The LGBT community is not immune. Members of our rainbow family have gone to fight, others have fled for safety and the progress on LGBT rights in Ukraine has come to a halt. But you will hear first hand in this podcast of the spirit of hope and defiance inside Ukraine as we speak with the Executive Director of Kyiv Pride, Lenny Emson.
