Awesome to have seen all the DRAQ QUEENS at the Jozie Protest. Thanks for coming out in all flair and fabulosity whilst still standing up for your and our rights! Rolando7/20/2012 7:09:40 AM REPLY
I was there and as a white gay guy I was ashamed by the lack of white male faces. 99% of the people were black lesbian women. It seems that few white gay men seem to feel that this is a problem that affects them. That kind of thinking perpetuates the 'us and them' mentality and is tragic. Surely there were some guys in the area that could have taken their lunch hour to attend? Shameful.... User?7/19/2012 10:03:55 PM REPLY
It's good to see that this was a proper march, instead of the normal Circus De So Gay. Which I do enjoy but serious issues call for a serious protest. Thank you all for speaking up for our community. 7/19/2012 9:52:25 AM REPLY

We as the Gay and Lesbians should conquer such crimes against us. We Are Unique and We Stand Together. I am Proud of everyone that attended this March today. Thank you to all that went and that showed Government that we are Human too.
