On Sunday, October 11, thousands of Broadway stars, fans, and friends took to the streets of Washington DC for the National Equality March.
The march supported Gay Rights, including marriage equality and “Don’t Ask/Don’t Tell” policies.
Through Broadway Impact, many actors, directors, producers, and other members of the entertainment industry sponsored buses to transport supporters of the Movement to Washington at no cost. Thousands marched, held signs, and, most importantly, came together to unite for a cause. The turnout was astounding, and the crowd was made of young people, old people, couples, singles, gay, straight, and people of every race and color you could think.
Also in the crowd were the cast of Hair, Gavin Creel, and several other entertainers. In fact, one of the speakers was none other than Lady Gaga herself. While her speech may not have been the most impressive point, it’s good to know celebrities still connect with the nation on common issues.
Overall, the National Equality March was a success, showing the government that multitudes of people support the rights of the Gay Community.
