A Queer Ukrainian has spoken about her excitement after Liverpool announced it would be hosting KyivPride.
Activist Mariia Goubernik, living in Wavertree, is looking forward to seeing the city continue on the legacy of Eurovision and stand in solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community in her home country come July. However, the 23-year-old hopes the celebrations go beyond a party as she highlighted the differences between Pride in Liverpool and Pride in Ukraine.
The sex therapist and blogger, who is pansexual, told the ECHO: “It was a nice surprise to see the announcement. I’m happy because I know people in KyivPride so it will be nice to see friends. But we should all be aware KyivPride was held in Warsaw last year and it’s different to Liverpool because lots of Ukrainians can travel to Warsaw.
