THE NATIONAL EQUALITY MARCH ON WASHINGTON

Get the Flash Plugin to see this video.


Thousands made their way to the Capitol in a show of immense activism and solidarity

If there's one thing the LGBT community does exceedingly well, it's put on a show, and politics is no exception. Over 200,000 people from across the country descended on Washington DC to show their support for LGBT rights and demand action on issues like "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA).

Whether we want to serve our country openly, or serve sushi at our wedding receptions, we're still waiting for the right to do either!

OURsceneTV was there, not only to participate, but to bring the scene to those who couldn't make it. We chanted, we marched, and we spoke to everyone from Jeff Parshley and Adam Bouska, the creators of the NoH8 campaign, to ordinary gay and lesbian citizens about why they were there.

Do we agree with Lady Gaga, who said she's sure President Obama will follow through on his promises to the LGBT community? Does a demonstration get results? Find out that and more right here.

With the Prop 8 victory, are you planning to become more of an activist?
