My Saturday

It was a very positive affair. No laws were broken, we had a permit, we didn't block traffic or the sidewalks. We waited at lights and when the group was separated by a do-not-walk sign we waited for them to cross before continuing our march. There were no slights to anyone, all of the signs were good, nothing that attacked any church at all, people honked in solidarity as they passed us, we chanted positive messages "What do we want? EQUAL RIGHTS! When do we want them? NOW!" or "Gay, straight, black, white all we want are equal rights!" The Pittsburgh police even helped us at one point by blocking traffic at one intersection so our entire group could cross at once. All in all there were about 500 people at the march, a very good turnout for something put together near last minute and in the rain.
