First queer marriage registered in Ukraine
The Desniansky Civil Registry Office in Kyiv registered the first queer marriage in Ukraine.
Head of the NGO “Insight” Olena Shevchenko has posted this on her Facebook page.
“Today we have ‘seen off’ our colleague and fellow member. Queer wedding, hooray! Dare you?” She wrote.
According to the National LGBT portal of Ukraine with reference to the Vesti Ukrainian daily, the friends of the spouses told that the couple had filed the application in advance. At the ceremony, the women were dressed according to their roles in the family. An employee of the Civil Registry Office, where the ceremony was held, said that such cases had not occurred here before, “At first we did not even realized anything. They looked like an ordinary couple. Later, when we looked at the passports, we saw that the bride was a man and the groom was a woman.”
The couple flatly refused to comment on their relationship. As the sources from their circle explain, they made such a decision for personal safety reasons.
Ukrainian transvestite diva Monroe commented she knew nothing about the wedding, but she would love to come if invited, “After all, it is a precedent in the modern Ukraine. This marriage is considered to be legal if a transsexual woman is a man according to the passport man. I have absolutely adequate attitude to that. It’s a private matter of everyone how to look and whom to love.”
However, she added that she was not yet ready to enter into marriage in Ukraine. “It is most likely to happen in the state, where the gay marriages are allowed,” Monroe said.
As reported, Ukrainians Mykola Maslov and Taras Karasiychuk got married in New York on July 1. During the ceremony, the boys were dressed in the colors of the Ukrainian national flag.
