Here Constitution states that marriage and civil union is "when man and woman [...]" and previous President wanted to change "when two people [...]". And many other changes that would really strongly benefit women (especially in sexual assault situations and some rights). Sadly he wasn't elected for second period, we would be much more "european" if he was. Current President is just clown (literally - comedian) and very weak, every other political power is spinning him however they want.

I think in 5-10 years here people will become much more accepting as well (unless Russia or transgender activists intervene strongly). So I am hoping for the best!

Marriage isn't important. I mean, I would like to get married, but in the end, what's matter is not living in an oppressive country where you cannot being openly yourself. You can live together without signing a document.

Well, even civil union and any protection is still nice to have. As people are different and some women aren't very good people. Everyone need equal protection. I think I am thinking way too much about well being of others, heh.

However, being able to at least live together without hate towards you (and any other consequences, like I was fired from job decade ago for dating a woman) is already great achievement.

That's sad. Yeah, some protection is nice. I feel lucky that I don't have to experience that kind of discrimination. Ever thought about emigrating to the west?

Is it a proposal? :)

And no, not really, I have a baggage to carry here, with grandmother and mother for a while, I need to sort out myself as well. At least I've studied my sister and bought a house for her and her husband this year, so less to worry about than before. Plus my poor health condition is not very suitable for long trips. Maybe sometime in the future I'll be happy to move somewhere in EU (or maybe Ukraine will join EU and that will be really good). Out of all parts of the world EU looks like a best place to live right now, with best social laws as well.

Yeah, girl, be my nerd wife :D Ahahah, seriously, buying an house for your sister, that's sound so caring. I'm sorry for your health condition. But yeah, if you can, moving to EU is better than staying in a more backward country. Germany or the nordics are cool choice, both in terms of society and economy. I will likely move to Germany too.

That is second one!

I don't like some German laws. Nordic is cold, I like cold weather much more than hot (still prefer something in the middle), plus I know few people in Norway. My close friend is Swiss, tho, but it is not EU. And I can actually have a chance to go to Germany, as one of my ancestors was german soldier in WW1 and WW2. I will need to change my surname for that, tho.

Well, you talked about proposals, was just answering to your joke :D

I'm more for hot weather, because I live in south Italy, I'm not used to cold. Swiss is nice too,the nicest things are the money they made ahahah For someone in the EU is easy to migrate there. Remember though, that nordic countries are known to being very difficult to make friends for outsiders. It can feel lonely, even for introverts, if you have nobody at all.

Well, I have nobody at all here as well, only few people, who are appearing maybe once a 3-4 months. But I have cats!

Oh damn, you're the typical lesbian cat lovers lol I don't like cats. I'm a dog person.
