In February 2010, the website korrespondent.net carried the news that a gay pride would take place in Ivano-Frankivsk on 2nd April 2010 with an attendance of guests from abroad. Nobody would suppose that to make a breakthrough in Ukraine they will choose the most Catholic region – Ivano-Frankivsk. Nobody would suppose that the Catholic hierarchy, officially represented there by ex-Bishop Viytyshyn and ex-Bishop Mudryi, will take sides with homosexuals.
