Every one of the hundreds of Ukrainians who joined Warsaw Pride had their own war story.
The Polish capital’s population has swelled with people fleeing the war over the border to the east, some with little prospect of returning.
Many of them joined the LGBTQ+ march held in the city centre, an annual event which was re-tooled as part celebration, part anti-war protest in recognition of the brutal conflict raging just a few hours away.
The blue and yellow of the Ukrainian flag was waved among the sea of rainbow colours filling the city streets and the day began with a chant of ‘Slava Ukraini’, the rallying cry of the independence movement.
Kyiv Pride’s director Lenny Emson implored the crowd to ‘march for us, show your solidarity’ and to ‘share our pain’.
