According to metro police, more than 100,000 gay Americans turned out at the U.S. Capitol on Sunday for the National Equality March. Gathered from across the country, participants demanded action from Congress on a host of issues related to the gay agenda - namely, the the opportunity to take a bullet for our country without lying about who we are, the ability to brunch under good lighting, and the right to marry a gay man just like Liza Minnelli.

Thousands of voices were raised, and thousands more "Missed Connections" on Craigslist created, when marchers gathered on the West Capitol Lawn to hear from elected officials, student activists and Lady Gaga. Brightest Young Things was there to capture the turnout, who in turn, turned it out.
