Politics: Who had the iconic line of the National Equality March? Lady Gaga

  • Obama, I know you are listening. Are you listening? We will continue to push you and your administration to bring your words of promise to a reality.
  • Lady Gaga • Speaking before a huge crowd of gay-rights supporters in Washington D.C. today. She didn’t have to put on her poker face, or tell the crowd, “Just Dance.” She made a passionate, smart push for gay rights at today’s march. We’re impressed. So impressed that we’ll avoid making the joke about her that we usually make when we post about her on the blog.  • source

U.S.: The National Equality March: A vivid display of activism in D.C.

  • This is their moment. You knew that this wouldn’t be any march on Washington when Obama openly big-upped the movement and said he would end “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” last night. But for the thousands of people in D.C. today (seriously, we were nearby, the crowd was massive and meaningful in size), that was only a start. They want him to keep going. Will he?source
