on Sat, and I had a good time. There were estimated to be between 4000 - 4500 people in attendance, and it was a very moving rally. We were also incredibly peaceful and calm, no asshats showing up to cause trouble or anything. In fact, I saw absolutely no police there at all. There were probably some plain-clothed officers there, but there wasn't exactly a 'Police presence' which I think also helped. I even made the Topeka news, apparently. A friend of mine (she was also there) told me that I was photographed during the march, waving the rainbow flag that my friend brought with us. I was asked about the flag by a few people, and I told them that I was there for my friends who couldn't be.

I'm not in the LGBT community myself, but I was proud to wave that flag. ^^

Things like this just go to show you, that there are more people in our country who believe in love than there are who believe in hate. And that gives me hope for the upcoming four years.
