Most people interviewed here don't even seem to know the difference between gay and transgender.

"you should stay at home" omg he was ahead of his time

"I don't support, because we raise kids and I want them to be normal" Ok boomer.

You can really see the generational difference. Except for the one younger guy, the younger generation was either accepting or neutral. Older generation were big no’s. It’s similar in the US, but older generations are more accepting lately too

When I visited Kyiv, particularly in Khreshchatyk street I saw two teenage guys on a bench kissing passionately each other. Involuntarily I laughed at them (not in a close distance of course, I think they even didn't realize my presence) since it was my first time looking at such scene in real life. Few seconds afterward I regret to do so because I know about their suffering for only loving and being themselves in society.

I think Public affection in general is gross. Gay, bisexual, straight, trans. Some of us are alone and don't want to see that! 😂

1:43 he looks like he beats his girlfriend ..

I followed Taya since 2016 and now its almost 2020 apparently she doesnt age!!

Interesting topic and responses delivered in the local language(s). I feel like I'm on a culture exchange, double thumbs up. Defiantly dig the word on the street videos, even if you're compiling others footage and subtitling it. I'd be interested in in hearing peoples views re; the environment. Like what do people think regarding balancing economic growth, quality of life, and resiliency/fragility of the nature world.

"Don't advertise it, all those kids and teens will see that" I wasn't exposed to lgbt until I was 15 but throughout my childhood, I was attracted to women and I'm a girl... and I'm still a teenager. I'm bi.

I'm so happy to see that the situation is changing there in Ukraine as the younger generations are becoming more tolerant. We can't fight alone, we need allies and I'm so proud to see there are many in this beautiful country.

At least Ukraine seems more evolved than Russia.

1:02 Alexander Lukashenko from Belarus lol

Such timing! I just watched an episode of Орёл и Решка that showed a pride parade and the comments were split as well. Great video, thank you Taya.

HOw could people judge someone based on whom they love.😅

The one guy who said we should stay at home does know some of us have jobs to go to and groceries to pick up right?

Big up Taya, your the best!

Interstices topics Taya, thank you!

Very good video, Taya. You did an awesome job by getting different opinions. I think you would have probably gotten the same results as if you did this video in the USA. I wish that you would do a video about how Ukrainians view Christianity and Christ. I always love your videos and I think you are an awesome lady.

i love how he says "be who you were born to be" and a second later says that people born as men should stay men *i spot a bipolar person here* edit: can you all just vibe and chill? i didn't mean to offend anyone but him. to the people who say that this comment is dumb and a second later that everyone has an opinion is unbelievable

I just want to say that I enjoyed listening the ukrainian language)) It's cool!

Watching this video post-invasion, it's interesting that polls show Ukraine has been moving in a much more liberal direction since 2014. This is not surprising, as Russia is aggressively homophobic and countries west of the iron curtain tend to be far more progressive than the former soviet states. After reports of LGBT+ 'camps' in Russia, I hope Ukraine begins legislative liberalisation once Russia has fully withdrawn

True. Kinda similar in India with younger people being more tolerant or accepting. However once again this acceptance is more in the urban & more exposure areas. Still strictly taboo in rural or small towns. Indians have by & large been quite a tolerant society ;though these days it appears, like elsewhere, the swing to the right & its inherent social problems is taking a toll here too. 😒

What I got out of this is Ukraine is more of a conservative traditional country but the millennials and younger are more liberal. Good clip Taya.

Hey Taya, I just wanted to tell you that I really like your new president! I saw him on American TV and he was great! I know that in Ukraine they don't like to talk about politics! But both your leader and ours agree that Ukraine has very much potential on the world economy! Anyway greetings from the U.S.A!!!!!!!!!🤗

Just because people don't subscribed to what you consider normal doesn't mean you have a justification for denying their human rights. If the only thing they're doing is offending you maybe it's time to grow up or crawl back under the rock you've been living under until you can learn to accept or at least tolerate it.

I m so worried about Ukraina. Hope things will settle

Many many thanks for sharing this excellent video and exceptional topic

1:30 absolute GIGACHAD

Thanks for the video, Taya. I get the impression it looks like it is every country the same : 1000 people, 1000 opinions :-)

Lol the first man "you should stay at home "

I feel very sorry for all members of LGBTQ living in Slavic countries. You are not alone!

Interesting video, but Taya, could you please make your letters bigger. It was difficult to read. Thank you 😊👍

All the people saying that they don’t want their kids to see it don’t understand that hiding it from their kids doesn’t mean that their kids will not be gay. It’s not a choice. If they’re gay, then that’s just who they are, and if one of these peoples’ kids turns out to be gay, no amount of shielding is going to prevent it, it will only make them feel like outsiders.

why the hell someone bothering about other's sexuality ? Psychiatrists have proven that homosexuality is not a disorder from the 70's . Homosexuality is also widespread in nature .

The guy at 1:25 is beautiful.

I find It ridiculous to be so invested in someone else's sexuality. Neutrality is the mature way to go and believe me, some of the most homophobic men I've known are gay deep down. Homophobia is at times a cover up. Fear of what you don't understand, brings destruction.

1:03 Lukashenko visiting Ukraine

@tanya can you recommend language school..?

So sad that so many (both in the video and in the comments) think it's a choice. As long as it's with a willing, consenting partner of legal age and mental maturity... then by all means do what feels right and don't judge others for doing the same.

Thanks for this video. I'm so sorry for what's happening in Ukraine. This war with horrific consequenses as in all wars are ... I can't even find words for how terrible it is. I couldn't even imagine this to happen. I mean, I knew the situation in Crimea horrible as well, illegally taken by Russia, correct me if I'm wrong. However, this is much worse. Attacking, killing, and try to occupy a sovereign, independent country! I can say that the nordic countries including my country Sweden do stand with Ukraine. I've seen some clips how united the militairy is. No matter if they are straight, gay, bi etc... You all are fighting for your country. I mean everything, EVERYTHING would be like hell if the worst scenario happens. Moldova is unfortunately on the risk zone as well. We do not need war in europe, no war at all in the entire world. The only thing we need is peace, acceptance, prosperity and living in harmony with one another. I can't understand those countries that do not condemn and make sanctions towards Russia. For me it's incomprehensible and morally wrong. 🇸🇪❤️🇺🇦 Take care, and remember this is not your nor Ukrainians fault. It is Putin's and his subscribers/followers fault! ☮️

That girl in your thumbnail (the last one) is freaking elegant!

What is your opinion Taya 🤔

Danke.

“You should stay at home”

0:25 "We don't know much about it" Brilliant 😂😂😂😂

1:03; Лукашенко - это Вы??

Sister Taya thinks for sharing this video GodBless yuo allways and yuor friend and family I love you 😘😘❤️♥️❤️

Секунда думки про ЛГБТ: 1) Це особисте життя, право і вибір кожного; 2) Від "реклами" це не передається. Це так не працює. Якщо ти бачиш сцену про самогубства по ТВ ти ж вмить не стаєш самогубцем; 3) Навпаки, про це треба говорити, щоб не було насилля на ґрунті ненависті, яка виникає від незнання теми якраз; 4) Це такі ж самі ЛЮДИ як і ми. Можливо є серед твоїх навколишніх, ближніх, які приховують себе. Таких сотні мільйонів у світі і мільйони у нас; 5) Папа Римський "Хто я такий щоб їх судити (осуджувати)?...Церковні представники: "Ми повинні бути терпимими..."; 6) Дівчатам можна, хлопцям - ні. Що за подвійні стандарти? Ми в 21 столітті. Повинна цікавити перш за все людина, а не її сексуальна орієнтація; 7) Такі стосунки є у 3500 видів тварин; були в різних культурах: від греків і Риму до сходу і Китаю; тисячі відомих письменників, політиків, діячів, історичних вагомих постатей були лезбійками, геями чи бісексуальними; 8)Є безліч гетеросексуальних "нормальних" пар, в яких панує ненависть, насилля, жорстоке поводження і т.д. І на таке закривають, очі бо це" нормальна" сім`я . А те, що діти ростуть з психологічними травмами, фобіями і т.д. нікого не хвилює; 9) Ми просто звикли до того, що більшість є гетеросексуальними. Це наше оточення на 95%. Але те, що ми рідше з чимось стикаємося не означає автоматично, що щось інше зразу - погане, неправильне чи щось в тому дусі. Це всього навсього інший різновид тієї ж норми. Просто рідший. 10) Це питання любові. До інших людей, бо закохуєшся не в стать і не в одяг, а перш за все в людину і в те, якою вона є.

You've got a cute accent

Well they don't have the best attitude however when you compare to what most russians think, Ukraine is 50% ahead, I think there can be hope

When were these interviews taken?

why tf could I only hear in one ear I don’t even have headphones on???

please put the translation in black font so that it can be easy to read.

Hey Taya very mixed responses and some confused responses and some neutral, Just wandered where you stand on it? I personally don't see why its seen as something that needs to be discussed in a negative light since It is just people trying to be themselves and feel comfortable.

Is not hate is ignorance

I have to say that I visited Ukraine twice (once in Kyiv and once in Lviv). I am gay myself and it's pretty obvious,so I expected a lot of homophobic people. Didnt meet any different attitude than western cities. Moreover, I encountered many positive views and gay friendly people. So in my experience, I can say that Ukraine is not so bad and homophobic as it described in media. At least not in the big cities. Cant wait to return back. ❤

I think it is necessary to differentiate between the LGBT community and gay or transgender people. Because LGBT people often exaggerate and are unnecessarily expressive. This can be provocative to more conservative and older people. And I honestly do not like to confront my children with that either.

I noticed most Russian speakers were against it and most Ukrainian speakers didn't mind. Also, younger people are more open in general. That is good news. I walked in a dress around the world once and Eastern Europe was more challenging than Turkey. I speak Russian as well and I will study Ukrainian for my next visit.

Just curious how many thousands of people were actually questioned? I hope not just a handful because that proves nothing. I do commend you for making this video. I know many lesbian girls would be afraid to come out. Kudos to you.

Now in Spain please my country

I'm Ukrainian, but was born in United States. I've never been there but wanna visit someday. Also im transgender and thankful that I wasn't born there. It seems they're very behind on the LGBT lifestyle and doesn't seem safe. I would probably be really depressed growing up there.

Its like this in most of the world here in Austria younger ppl accept it a lot and the older generation is just meh about it (just some teenagers find it funny to discriminate it but they're to young to understand)

Subtitles are too small and unclear

God bless the man in the check shirt towards the end who mentioned LGBT rights needing to be protected in law. I stand with Ukraine against the Russian aggression, but let’s be absolutely clear. In Ukraine, LGBT people have virtually zero rights. There have been a few Pride marches over the years in Ukraine, which have required far more police than marchers, to protect participants from violent thugs. A lot of gay men are in Ukraine right now, fighting for their country, and they need recognition for that. Furthermore, other LGBT people are having to flee into places like Poland, where they are not safe. Watching this video, it’s depressing to see opinions spouted about how gay people are not, “normal”, gay men are not “men” (despite being conveniently recognised as such when it’s time for them to fight) and children are not to be “exposed” to LGBT people. One person even said something about “crossing my borders” which I take it means “I don’t mind the gays as long as they don’t hit on me” - gay panic! So yes, the bloke near the end of the video said it brilliantly. Attitudes will never change, which means that gay people will never be safe, until the laws are tightened up to protect LGBT rights, which, by the way are the same rights as everybody else. The right to be recognised as a couple, to be able to attend your same sex partner’s funeral, to be able to hold hands and kiss without getting beaten the crap out of. That sort of thing. Sort your shit out, Ukraine, (and Poland).

I don't speak russian but I feel like there are some definite lost in translation moments here,

hope these people are safe rn 🥺😔❤️

where do lgbt begin? pls answer, if you noticed this.

Those people saying that kids shouldn’t see it are projecting themselves on people. That means they see it and want to be gay. So please, stay home and don’t remind them how they feel deep inside.

Maybe you can ask them if they know any gay or lesbian people, and do they have any gays or lesbians in their families...

I've always had an incredible passion for living life to its fullest. I am a hopeless romantic and always strive to believe in the good within everyone. I'm straightforward about my needs, and honest when I feel hurt. I am looking for an equally positive partner who loves to try new experiences and is a great and open communicator

Your life your choices make it right or wrong

1:32 Meet me in the ring, now! It's on!

based ukraine

Has lgbt acceptance changed since you made the video? Could you maybe collect current opinions to show the difference? :)

3:32 I fell in love, she's really beautiful :o

I’m from Russia and I’m Russia LGBT is very very big question but I know a lot of LGBT in Russia plus myself as I’m a gay man living in Russia I will always support LGBT

Hi ❤

Omg, people are so ignorant and homophobic!

This hits close to home. I am from Kiev Ukraine (living in Czech Republic since childhood) and my relatives from back home are homophobic (they consider it 'not normal' and against God) as well as racist. I'm trying to avoid such topics when talking to them, but overall it makes is difficult for me to accept them. Which makes it a catch 22. I'm not accepting them for similar reasons they are not accepting the minorities (being different from what I consider right).

So basically the young people are for it and the old people are hostile or at least neutral. And that's pretty much the way it is here in the USA. Time will win out.

I love how she translated some phrases like "if you have wrong orientation" -> "you belong to LGBT community" 😄

Now, I feel proud to be Spanish

Living without a father can make fall in a really shit hole So always respect your father

1:04 Lukashenko just went for a walk in UA

I didn't understand them and your english label where block by another language : (

1:24 - #OneLove

the girl with pink hair....we know girl "good friend"

As a Ukrainian supporter, I support those Ukrainian people who treat everyone as equal human beings, whether they are lgbt or have disabilities. And the same goes for russia people too. I support only good despite their nationality.

The most significant issue is when LGBT people start considering themselves an LGBT "community". There are individual rights. There should not be "group rights". Here in the USA, it is becoming more and more apparent that much more is going on with this issue than individual people wishing to be accepted.

There's still hope for Ukraine.

should ask wikipedia

I think alot of the people in this video think that this is a choise. One can not become gay. You are gay , or you are not gay. No one can be influenced to become gay if one is not gay in the first place. Why should gays stay inside? Why can't they buy an apartment together? Why can't they hold hands together? If anyone cares about it, that's their problem, not the gays' problem. If we are to treat homosexuals the same way we treat heterosexuals, then they must be allowed to live the lives that heterosexual people live

To me, it's not weather you accept it or not. Everyone has the freedom to choose their destiny. People are just that, people; regardless of how they might identify. We are to love one another unconditionally. But to try to force ones beliefs onto others (proselytize) is not the Democratic way. There are several sects of people proselytizing these days. They should just let it be as it always has been. They will not succeed in changing the world to suit only them. I'm not phobic. But I am firm in my ways. I am that I am. That's how someone else that I know describes themself to others. It's the truth. You can't change that. Note: Look at what they are doing in the U.S. If your raise your children to learn your family ways at an early age, and then they go into the public speaking of such things, someone can be prosecuted for it. The government is proselytizing for the minorities.

I wonder how they feel about gay rights in Ireland since we have rescued them from war

Perhaps you will all re think your views considering whats going on... 🤔 sexuality doesn't matter, love does.

Știți ce sa întâmplat cu Sodoma și Gomora?

I feel like those are people opinions in the US
