I have to admit, I'm getting a little sick of hearing about all this Ukraine stuff. It's just getting old, that's all, I'm not like mad about it or anything.
However, this story right here made my day, and I actually felt the need to talk about Ukraine for a short period of time.
Yup, here we are folks, just a day away from that beautiful rainbow month we call Pride, and BOOM, they hit us with the "Ukraine unicorn LGBTQ soldiers" story.
The gays are headed off to war!!!
Stand up and give these unicorn people a round of applause, boys!
Members of Ukraine's LGBTQ community who sign up for the war have taken to sewing the image of the mythical beast into their standard-issue epaulettes just below the national flag.
The practice harks back to the 2014 conflict when Russia invaded then annexed the Crimean Peninsula from Ukraine, "when lots of people said there are no gay people in the army," actor, director and drama teacher Zhuhan told Reuters as he and Romanova dressed in their apartment for their second three-month combat rotation.
"So they (the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer community) chose the unicorn because it is like a fantastic 'non-existent' creature."
So that's cool, Ukraine!
It looks like these unicorn peeps have been out there the entire time fighting in this war, and good for them, but I guess Pride Month is the politically correct time to virtue signal if you're the Ukrainians. I really don't know.
Either way, we're witnessing history right here, guys. Very serious stuff!
One of the unicorn soldiers noted how inclusive the Ukrainian military is:
"There was no aggression, no bullying... It was a little unusual for the others. But, over time, people started calling me Antonina, some even used my she pronoun," Romanova said.
Reminds me of this great Babylon Bee headline:
Now, I'm not giving the Russians any ideas here. Because if they're smart they've already taken on this strategy.
Happy last day before Pride Month, people!
