Not surprising they would be the first to make a public show of support, and it is so heartening that further support is taking a stand.

I'm still undecided if I will march again, it was just a little overwhelming for a shy girl marching past around 400,000 spectators, but such a positive energy that I might just decide at the last minute to join my friends.

+1. They are truly courageous and are at the forefront of the fight. Starboard Tack Jun 2012 #8

How can you say that groups that only recently joined are "at the forefront of the fight?" laconicsax Jun 2012 #9

Does having recently joined preclude them? They are marching. Starboard Tack Jun 2012 #10

IMO, to be at the forefront, one must be leading. laconicsax Jun 2012 #11

Well those who have courage are at the forefront of change. Starboard Tack Jun 2012 #12
