For days, death threats and homophobic insults have been pouring into Sofiia Lapina's messaging inbox — a constant reminder of the hatred she often encounters as an LGBT rights activist in Ukraine.

"They photographed my balcony, the entrance to my building, and they've been sending it all to me," she said.
