A Russian soldier grabbed a Ukrainian soldier’s hair and kicked him in the back, screaming, “There will be no ‘pink’ in our country.”

When they broke into a lesbian couple’s hiding place in Kherson, two Russian occupants referred to them as “pinks,” the same derogatory term.

Many accusations of transgender and homophobic assaults by Russian troops in controlled territory have surfaced over the past year.

But all three of the “houses” of the synod approved the motion, giving priests the option to bless gay couples, or opt out.

“I’m really pleased that we now will bless same-sex couples who are faithfully living in a civil marriage or a civil partnership, in church,” said Stephen Cottrell, according to BBC News.
