'hattan against H8in'
Last night in Manhattan, we East Coast gays rallied behind our Left Coast friends. Check out Joe.My.God and Blabbeando for nice photo/video coverage from the long distance Prop 8 protest:
NYC: Thousands Rally For Equality [J.M.G.]
My New York: Gotham City stands up for same-sex marriage tonight [Blabbeando]
Our favorite, most random part of the whole night? The show queen who, out of nowhere, bust out in an impromptu, gay-themed take on Hairspray's "Welcome to the '60s. Only in gay New York, kids; only in gay New York.
**SEE ALSO: Matthew Rettenmund has more, including photo and video with Whoopi Goldberg: The Marrying Kind [Boy Culture]
Your thoughts
It was a wonderful night with thousands of friends and supporters and glad to have finally met Blabbeando's creator.
Also a wonderful full moon shone down upon us all....
