LGBTQ+ community

- KyivPride, NASH SVIT and UKRAINEPRIDE remain resource/portal identities rather than ordinary venue cards.

Local discovery language
- Useful Ukrainian discovery terms include ЛГБТК+, квір, гей-клуб, гей-сауна, прайд, ком'юніті-центр and безпечний простір.
- Russian-language searches can still surface legacy/current community information but require identity reconciliation.
Maps, transport & platforms
- Use official venue channels, Google/Waze POIs, Visit Kyiv and first-party community sites; wartime schedules and curfew can change quickly.
- Current PORTUM hours are published on its first-party menu; K41 publishes schedules on official social channels.
