The Kyiv Trans March 2019 came off as planned, ringed by police they marched through the city holding Ukrainian, Pride and Trans flags high.

Unlike the first Pride Marches, the police actually protected the participants as opposed to beating them up, like they did in 2012.

In 2015 the police showed up in force squashing the nationalists as they massed on the outskirts of Kyiv where the march was regulated to for safety reasons.  Our community carried our flags high even though blood was shed and 10 were wounded.

This year the world witnessed the largest Gay Pride Parade take place in Kyiv, free of violence all Ukrainians celebrated as they should.

So it is getting better, slowly for transgender Ukrainians. But it is the same story worldwide. When the haters realize they have lost the battle against gay people they come for trans people.

This year police stood up to a much smaller contingent of less motivated thugs. They formed a secure perimeter as they marched through the city responding strongly and swiftly to incursions.

The attendees were warned on Facebook by the event organizers Insight LGBT and Trans Generation of possible violence but thankfully that didn’t happen.

No pinkwashing, please.

Some LGBT media opted for an upbeat spin, which is admirable, but by the look on the face of the actual trans attendees, the gender diverse are under siege.

Amnesty USA issued a statement demanding that Ukrainian authorities protect the trans marchers while Amnesty International did a letter writing campaign perhaps helping to change the political climate.

And you could see the strain in the eyes of the marchers who paused apprehensively at every loud noise remembering the flash and bang grenades the criminals hurled at past parades. This is clearly a part of our community that lives in uncertainty and fear.

Very few smiles. But a lot of beautiful Ukranian and trans flags held by people with looks of grim determination.

Most of the violent anti-trans criminals who gathered under their flags remained masked to preserve their anonymity much as the KKK and TERFs do.

At one point the police looked like they were the intended audience entranced by the hateful words of the speaker until they were awoken when one of the protesters was chased and carried away. The five were followed by an Orthodox preacher, one of the main provocateurs.

With the exception of a few eggs thrown from beyond the police cordon, it appears no physical harm was done. So bravo and well done. Next year will be even better.

WASHINGTON — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi plans to announce a formal impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump late Tuesday, acquiescing to mounting pressure from Democratic lawmakers following reports that Trump may have sought a foreign government’s help in his reelection bid.

The decision sets up an election season clash between Trump and Congress that seems certain to exacerbate the nation’s fierce partisan divides and inject deep uncertainty into the 2020 presidential contest.

Pelosi was huddling with her caucus Tuesday afternoon and planned to announce the impeachment probe in a statement following the meeting. Her plans were confirmed by a person familiar with her thinking, who insisted on anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.

Meanwhile, former Vice President Joe Biden said Congress must use its full constitutional authority to investigate Trump’s actions and if he doesn’t cooperate he’ll leave lawmakers “with no choice but to initiate impeachment.” If that happens, Biden said, it will be a tragedy of Trump’s own making.

Pelosi has spent months trying to keep an impeachment inquiry at bay. But her position became untenable this week as more members — including crucial moderates in political swing districts — swung in favor of a probe following reports that Trump pushed Ukraine’s leader for help investigating Democrat Biden and his son during a summer phone call.

Trump, who was meeting with world leaders at the United Nations, called the impending inquiry a “witch hunt” and predicted it would be a “positive for me.” He authorized the release of a transcript of his call with Ukraine’s president and predicted it would show no evidence of wrongdoing.

“You will see it was a very friendly and totally appropriate call,” Trump said.

The president has all but dared Democrats to open impeachment proceedings, repeatedly stonewalling requests for documents and witness interviews in a variety of ongoing investigations. Trump advisers say they are confident that the specter of impeachment led by the opposition party will bolster his political support. Pelosi has shared that concern and has spent months trying to hold off liberals in her caucus pushing for impeachment.

But the atmosphere on Capitol Hill started shifting following a whistleblower complaint that centered in part on Trump’s call with the Ukrainian president, but is also said to include other events.

Trump has suggested he brought up Biden and his son Hunter in the phone call as part of discussions over corruption in Ukraine — despite no evidence of wrongdoing on the part of either man. He also confirmed on Tuesday that he ordered advisers to freeze $400 million in military aid to Ukraine in the days before the phone call, prompting Democrats to charge that he was holding out the money as leverage for information on Biden.

In remarks ahead of her caucus meeting, Pelosi notably said a quid pro quo wasn’t necessary to establish an impeachable offense.

“We don’t ask foreign governments to help us in our election,” Pelosi said.

Trump has sought to implicate Biden and his son in the kind of corruption that has long plagued Ukraine. Hunter Biden served on the board of a Ukrainian gas company at the same time his father was leading the Obama administration’s diplomatic dealings with Kyiv. Though the timing raised concerns among anti-corruption advocates, there has been no evidence of wrongdoing by either the former vice president or his son.
