The largest annual LGBTQ+ event in the east of Ukraine. It has been held since 2019. Pride includes a series of educational and charitable events, performances and marches in support of human rights. We don't stop in the face of challenges. The team conducted a car Pride parade during COVID-19 in 2020. We held a Pride event in the underground during constant shelling in 2022. And in 2024 we conducted Pride in the format of a motor rally.
