Ukraine’s Parliament Is Pulling Back on LGBTQ Rights as Courts and Citizens Move Forward
Ukraine's Parliament is advancing a civil code that would prevent courts from recognizing same-sex couples as families, contradicting a February 2024 Supreme Court decision and Ukraine's EU accession commitments. The draft legislation explicitly excludes same-sex partnerships and introduces a vague 'good morals' standard that could be used to deny legal recognition to LGBTQ+ families.
