On 1 August 2012, a peaceful demonstration was held in Drohobych on the occasion of the anniversary of the Baptism of Kievan Rus by St. Vladimir.

The UO GCC believers demonstrated against the gender-gay ideology which destroys all moral, spiritual and Christian values. They also protested against establishment of the juvenile justice system which has already started removing children from good families without any real reason. Before the demonstration, the local authorities and police, at the request of the hierarchy of the UGCC, tried to prevent it.
