s2e5: for this one, we pay tribute to fearless queer Ukrainians who defiantly manifest their rainbow colors even as Russian bombs keep raining down on them. Kharkiv pride went ahead on September 25th, 2022, in the country's second-largest city — despite fighting ongoing just several kilometers away and non-stop Russian shelling. Why has the Ukrainian queer liberation been turbo-charged by Russian full-scale invasion? We feature Ruslana Hnatchenko of Kharkiv Prideand Sarah Ashton-Cirillo, the only transgender journalist covering genocide in Ukraine full-time.
