The Ukrainian TV presenter, actress and founder of the culinary school Dasha Malakhov shared personal memories that became a reaction to discussing the rights of the LGBT community in Ukrainian society, in particular among the military. In a post on her Facebook page, she frankly stated the experience of same-sex relationships in the past and called for herself and others.
“I have been in a same -sex relationship twice. I am mom. I am the founder of the school. I am a person who tells you: stop afraid of yourself, ”Malakhova wrote.
The actress compared human nature with a rainbow that has many shades, and emphasized that homophobia is not just aggression against others, but a deep fear of a person. She stressed that the war does not abolish the need for care, tenderness and love that can come in an unexpected form.
“I have a good friend who now serves in the hottest directions. And suddenly I get a message from him: “Dasho, I want to talk. How do you feel about unseen relationships? I have that happened here…” - described Malakhov's emotional recognition of a military man who unexpectedly felt closeness and care of another man on the front.
The presenter emphasized: “It does not matter what gender the person will be nearby. And that's normal. The rejection will only make this abyss unspeakably scary. "
Dasha also thanked the LGBT-Vikov for his service and the courage to be himself: “I am proud and thank you to the LGBT community in the Armed Forces. I do not aggress, but I ask to see reality. And here is it. "
Now Malakhov is happy in marriage with Sergius - a man younger than ten years. Together, they raise two sons from a previous marriage to a citizen of Hungary.
