The National Equality March was an important piece of history in the gay movement for civil rights. While many came for political and philosophical reasons, many were just there to make a buck or find some dick (or do both).
You can bet that when a bunch of people gather in one place for a cause, there will be someone there looking to sell something, whether they agree with the cause or not.
3 strings for $5!
My guess: saving for an engagement ring for his girlfriend.
No, I think I'll pass on the pretzels from the trash can cart, thanks.
Yes, yes, but will you still be a lesbian after you graduate?
And guys, we’re here to show the nation that we deserve a piece of the heteronormative pie. Are your questionable fashion choices (or lack of attire) really helping our cause?
*to the tune of "Muffin Man"* Can you spot the muffin top?
Honey, that's no top!
Can you imagine being the C-SPAN stenographer trying to close caption "WOOF!"?
Oo! Orange is my favorite–
Was my favorite color.
Gay March does not necessitate sensible shoes, obvi.
Unless you're in drag.
She looked like a business man in the middle of the crowd.
"They got me workin' this march with this skinny motherfucker! What's his 100 pound ass gonna do if there's a fight! Luckily, it's nothin' but queens out here anyway! I should see if one of them can tighten up my edges! Lawd, they done started throwing glitter at each other again; I gotta go! Call you later, gurl!"
BTW, This is NOT a circuit party, gays!
Put
your
damn
shirt
on!
I mean, it was 65 degrees at best!
Note: I think it’s important for people to see the diversity within our communities. We come in all different wrappings, and each of those deserves equal treatment. It would have been very disturbing if everyone came in suits or business casual. While there’s something to be said for “playing the game” (believe me, financially successful black people say it all the time), we’re going for equal treatment under the law, not assimilation. Besides, the straight world has it’s exhibitionists and freaks, too!

mmmm sexyboy in the photo captioned "your" is allowed to take off his shirt at any damn parade he wants, as far as i'm concerned.
look at that booty pop!
I feel like the national march was a national gay circuit party. Via Facebook and Twitter, all the gays seemed to have been drunk the entire time. LOL!

I'll have you know that this was a SOBER MOMENT! But I can't vouch for this comment.
I think a lot of the people who bothered to update via FB and Twitter were the type to drink during a National Equality March.
Plus, the parties afterwards were probably a lot of fun. I'm not that politically minded, I just couldn't justify spending the money for a hotel room!
