"We are not against homosexuals, however, we do not share their values," he stressed. Unhurian said that the co-authors of the bill are the MP of the Communist Party faction Yevhen Tsarkov, the MP of the Party of Regions faction Yulia Kovalevska, the MP of the NU-NS Party faction Kateryna Lukyanova, the member of the Reforms for the Future parliamentary group Taras Chornovil.
Meanwhile, the leader of the Love Against Homosexuality movement Ruslan Kukharchuk stressed that the bill will not limit the media's right to freedom of speech. "When it comes to gay parades, the claims will be advanced against the organizers of such events first, not against the journalists who cover them," he said.
