[Well, maybe Yanukovych had a point. Since everybody knows that the
Nazis were closeted gays, maybe the legislation was intended to prevent
Ukraine--like Russia--from becoming susceptible to the epicene
perversions being foisted on the noble Slavic races by George Soros,
Samantha Powers, and Pussy Riot.]
Gay gag law proposed in Ukraine
Ukrainian parliament to vote on law banning 'promotion' of LGBT issues,
criminalizing media coverage and work of gay rights groups

Ukrainian parliament to vote on gay 'promotion' law
An anti-gay 'propaganda' bill, similar to the one passed in St
Petersburg, has been proposed in the Ukraine.
The bill, which was recommended to the country's parliament by the
Committee on Freedom of Expression and Information, would amend existing
laws on ‘the protection of morals’, media and publishing, as well as the
criminal code, effectively banning virtually all information on gay and
bisexual issues and criminalizing LGBT human rights work in Ukraine.
Such activities would become punishable by steep fines or imprisonment
for up to five years.

As reported, on October 2, 2012 the Verkhovna Rada passed at first
reading a bill amending some legal documents regarding protection of
children's right to safe information space.
The authors of the draft law propose to introduce responsibility for
actions that propagate homosexual relations, abuse of freedom of speech
in the printed media, and the propagation of homosexuality on television
and radio.
The draft law was developed by people's deputies Yevhen Tsarkov
(Communist Party parliamentary faction), Kateryna Lukyanova (Our
Ukraine-People's Self-Defense faction), Pavlo Unhurian (BYT-Batkivschyna
faction), Yulia Kovalevska (Regions Party faction), Taras Chornovil
(independent deputy), and Lilia Hryhorovych (Our Ukraine-People's
Self-Defense faction).
