During the discussion of the situation in Ukraine, the issue of the rights of homosexuals has already been raised. Prime Minister Mykola Azarov stated that before Ukraine is allowed into the EU, it will have to "legalize same-sex marriage and adopt a law on the equality of sexual minorities."

The German Lesbian and Gay Association has issued an appeal to members of the German Olympic team, urging them to declare themselves representatives of sexual minorities during the Winter Olympics in Sochi...
the appeal suggests a wording that German Olympians can use to express their solidarity with representatives of Russian sexual minorities.
"As a free person, I say: in a country where lesbians and gays are persecuted, I am also gay, I am also a lesbian. I declare this because I stand for the right of all people to freely express their own opinion, to equal treatment, to respect for their love. Oppression and violence against minorities, on the contrary, make all of us unfree. It is necessary to abandon censorship and laws aimed at suppression. Any society will only benefit when our lesbian sisters and our gay brothers can live in conditions of freedom, equal treatment and respect."
