Blasphemy in Bloom: Ukraine Unleashes LGBT Film Fest on Good Friday: When Sacred Mourning Meets State-Sponsored Mockery In a world where war rages and faith is clung to like a lifeline, some still find ways to strike at the sacred. On Good Friday, a day of solemn mourning for Christians around the globe, the city of Kiev opened its arms not to prayer or reflection—but to a rainbow-drenched film festival. The “Sunny Bunny” LGBT Film Festival kicked off on April 18, right in the heart of Holy Week—a week when both Eastern and Western Christians, for once, share the same Easter calendar. And yet, as millions fasted, prayed, and remembered the crucifixion of Christ, the red carpets rolled and the champagne flowed.
