On March 6th, during a Forgiveness Sunday sermon, Patriarch Kirill, the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, hinted that the pride parades may have played a role the conflict that escalated into the invasion of Ukraine. Kiril implied that the expanding adoption of liberal “Western” values justified Putin’s war. According to Kirill, the war in Ukraine is a test of “which side of God humanity will be on.” He also described the war as a conflict between supporters of gay pride events, including the western governments and Russia. “In order to join the club of those countries, you have to have a gay pride parade,” he said. Kirill accused Ukraine of warming up to the western powers by allowing LGBTQ communities and gay pride parades to flourish. He claimed that “if humanity accepts that sin is a variation of human behavior, the human civilization will end there.” He seemed to imply that Putin is protecting the values of the Russian-speaking and heavily contested Donbas region of eastern Ukraine stating, “In Donbas, there is a rejection, a fundamental rejection, of the so-called values that are offered today by those who claim world power.” Kirill explained, “We know that if people or countries reject these demands, they are not part of that world; they become strangers to it.” His comments have lead to a schism within many Russian Orthodox communities and public calls for him to amend his statements.
