Ukrainians March for LGBT Equality in Peace

Today in Kiev, a gay pride parade began an entirely new chapter in the history of the Ukraine.

"Let her in, she's a lesbian, don't you get it?" says a policeman to his colleague before checking the documents of a journalist getting screened for "The March of Equality."

According to local police, on hand to limit any disruptions, the over 1500 LGBT community marchers were not harmed - joining 5500 police officers as they walked together in the center of the Ukrainian capital, Kiev.
