Towleroad has some great footage up of this weekend's National Equality March, as well as an interview with out Broadway star Gavin Creel, who attended the event along with the cast of Hair. I haven't seen any interviews with her, but I know from what she posted on Twitter that Kristin Chenoweth was also among the thousands who were at the March. All the more reason to love her!
It looks like it was an incredible moment in the LGBT civil rights struggle and I really regret that I couldn't be there myself!
You can watch Cleve Jones, the gay activist who fought alongside Harvey Milk in the 1970's and has kept up the fight ever since, and who called for this March to begin with, address the crowd here.
In a nicely timed moment, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed a bill creating May 22nd as Harvey Milk Day in California, something that he'd previously vetoed. That, of course, was before they made a movie about Milk that won some Oscars.
