By way of contrast, several hundred thousand participated in Washington's Pride Parade on June 11, with many, many more thousands marching in towns and cities across the country.
Maybe we'll live to see the day when an NOM rally consists of one old guy, his placard and a bullhorn.
Let's reflect on this tweet from a certified homophobe and self- certified "Christian" who thinks light refracted through water vapor somehow has religious meaning:

Alana Lynn, a morning co-host on country music station 104.3 FM in
Boise, Idaho, was excited to play Little Big Town’s latest single for
