“I am glad to see you, you do a very important work. I live in Austria. We are ahead of Ukraine when it comes to LGBT rights obligation, we fight for the marriage equality. But you need to prove the universality of human rights. It is a tough way, but you have to work your way”, greeted the singer the activists.
Conchita addressed the Ukrainian society at their request.
“Every person needs to be respected whatever sexual orientation and gender identity, religion and political views. We all deserve respect”, stated the singer.
Conchita told the journalists that she was not afraid to come to Ukraine because she knew that she would be taken welcome there.
