The protestors gathered in front of the presidential administration building, bearing posters with the slogans, “Stop the homo-dictatorship,” “Hands off our children,” and “School is no place for sexual experimentation,” among others, reports gcshelp.org.

The president’s administration explained that the petition was removed at the request of Ombudsman Oksana Philipishina, who believed it contained signs of incitement to discrimination.
However, believers have expressed the opinion that the petition was removed to hide the true attitude of Ukrainians.

The defenders of traditional values drew attention to the fact that according to the strategy children should be taught that the gay lifestyle is normal, the media will actively employ gay propaganda, civil partnership for gay couples will be legalized, transgender people will be able to adopt children, and that prostitutes, homosexuals, and addicts will have the right to be blood donors.
