LGBTQ protesters march on Ivanka’s house
    2017-04-03  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

    HUNDREDS of LGBTQ protesters invaded Ivanka Trump’s upmarket neighborhood in Washington D.C., for the “Queer Dance Party for Climate Justice,” much to the fury of other residents.

    A storm of dancing people marched with signs, speakers and festive clothing while chanting obscenities directed towards the first daughter’s father to protest his administration’s rollback on Obama’s climate change policies Saturday night.

    The rowdy crowd disrupted the usually exclusive area as they flocked to Ivanka’s US$5.5 million home, as one of her neighbors became so infuriated by the noisy event that he was filmed threatening to punch a demonstrator.

    The 82-year-old enraged resident of the expensive Kalorama community yelled to protesters: “Get out of here! I live here... Do you want to get your face hit?”

    The protest may have fallen on deaf ears, as Ivanka and family didn’t seem to be home to witness the event.

    She was last spotted in New York City on Friday as she was in town with her three children to celebrate her youngest child’s birthday with her in-laws.

    The presidential family might have some explaining to do to the neighborhood association, as residents complained earlier in March that their lack of community etiquette was “ruining” the suburb.

    The participants held signs that told Ivanka to “get natural” and criticized the businesswoman for not walking her “children in nature.”

    Police cars lined the streets of where the mother-of-three resides when in the nation’s capital, while barricades and yellow tape were placed to guard anyone from actually stepping onto the property.

    However, this didn’t deter the protesters from blasting music from speakers, singing along to Queen’s rock anthem “We Will Rock You” and dancing on the roofs of cars.

    Washington D.C. police said they didn’t have information yet on how many people were arrested or if there had been any arrests at all.

    Residents have complained their new neighbors have been hogging parking on an already crowded street and leaving trash bags rotting on the curb. A big part of the complaint: a huge security presence, with even a trip to the playground requiring three vans.

    They have groused that sidewalks have been closed, public parking overrun and that the family and their staff can’t even be bothered to learn the trash pickup schedule outside their home.

    “It has been a three-ring circus from the day that they’ve moved in,” said Marietta Robinson, who lives across the street, speaking with The Associated Press. “They’ve completely ruined the neighborhood.”

    The night was organized by WERK for Peace, a queer activist collective, along with 350 D.C., Queer Resistance and the Trans Women of Color Collective.
