The "LiGa" association of gays, lesbians and bisexuals organizes its first ever Rainbow Spring" gay festival in Nikolayev on May 15-17th, 2009. The main purpose of this activity is to represent LGBT community on a local (regional) level through cultural and sports events, erasing stereotypes and destructing any socio-cultural barriers that make difficult for homosexuals to enjoy their full rights as every other member of the society.
