The Las Vegas 10:30am protest had a small crowd of over 100. We got to march from city hall to Fremont Street where we were allowed to march and make noise as long as we didn't hold our signs high in the air.
The 2pm rally and protest at the GLBT Center was awesome. A good 1500 people. Awesome speakers. Wanda Sykes was in the crowd just minding her own business when someone spotted her and asked her to speak. She basically got on stage and came out while explaining her feelings on Prop 8. She also explained she married her wife a few months ago. That was really cool of her to out herself for the cause. I was just blown away by some of the speakers... On the way from where the rally was to where we would be protesting, I bumping into none other than Dusty Sage, his man, and two other MiceChatters. Totally unexpected, but I was glad to see them there! I ended up staying at the protest until the very end which was around 5:30 or so. I then went and hung out at Starbucks with some of the cool people I met at the protest, who also happened to be some of the planners.
Today felt great. I'm exhausted, but it was more than worth it. I'm excited about the upcoming Vegas rallies and protests which are in the works!
