US Special Envoy for the Human Rights of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex (LGBTI) persons Randy Berry will travel to Ukraine in June to meet with the country’s officials and civil society, US Department of State said in a press release on Tuesday.

Rory O'Neill, known by the Drag persona Panti, celebrates with yes supporters at Dublin Castle, Ireland, Saturday, May 23, 2015. Ireland has voted resoundingly to legalize gay marriage in the world's first national vote on the issue, leaders on both sides of the Irish referendum declared Saturday even as official ballot counting continued. Senior figures from the no campaign, who sought to prevent Ireland's constitution from being amended to permit same-sex marriages, say the only question is how large the yes side's margin of victory will be from Friday's vote. - Sputnik International
