In reply to the discussion: If you think Putin is bad on GLBT Rights...Check out the New Ukraine Parliament! [View all]KoKo
(84,711 posts)39. But in 2011 in the Ukraine ....
See the post above when I researched it after Poster #5 posted the New Parliament had introduced it and folks asked for a link. I went ahead and searched because I got questions in my reply. I corrected my answer but the other things this Parliament is doing will just continue the RW influence. That's why I equated it to when the Tea Baggers rammed through their agenda in 2010 here in US and in our States through ALEC and KOCH AGENDA.
I took poster #5 at their word that New Parliament Banned Gay Adoption. But, they were incorrect about that so I searched and Ukraine passed it in 2011. So...Old Parliament in Ukraine no better than Putin for LBGT Rights and according to article in my OP they might even be worse on other issues concerning "the RIGHTS OF THE PEOPLE.," now that they have their Coup.
