Won't it be fun to watch them try to spin the low numbers.

If the "traditional marriage" folks want to protest something, maybe they should protest next time Britney Spears gets married. (That 55-hour first one had to be an embarrassment.) Or, the next time some prominent Republican lawmaker gets divorced and remarried, or caught in a public infidelity.

Thank god that all their attempts to blame teh gayz for the general decline of civilization as they see it, just wasn't a big seller. Normally, I'm pretty much with H.L Mencken regarding the astuteness of the American public, but is it possible that they actually have some sense of reality on this? That the scapegoating won't work this time?

LEAVE BRITTNEY ALONE!

Perhaps the biggest problem, aside from the bigotry, is the location of the march.

DC and Maryland are part of the northeastern marriage equality swath, and the sky has not fallen there...

Marching on the capitol has a certain cachet, but surely there are parts of the country where you could reasonably expect a better turnout.

@3 for the Traditional Marriage win!

It's when all is lost that nihilists turn to terrorism.

Maybe they were all raptured away 5 minutes before the rally?

Was Seattleblues there?

Boom! take that, bigots!

Also, I want REAL traditional marriage: Hand-fasting.

So-called 'marriage traditionalists' are like babytown frolics who don't know their own history. I want hardcore marriage traditionalism! The real stuff, not their watered-down version.

Maybe the people who wanted to go on their march couldn't, because they were busy not baking gay wedding cakes or not making gay wedding bouquets.

@9 - I want hardcore marriage traditionalism, too. If NOM were actually in favor of traditional marriage, they'd be out there fighting for the right of males to marry more than one female, and proposing legislation that would make it legal for men to divorce their wives but prohibit wives from divorcing their husbands (penalty for the latter would be lashes because stoning leads to death and it's more of a punishment to give them some incredibly painful verdict and make them live and stay married to the husband they hate).

Someone needs to let the poor Catholic Bishop from San Francisco know that adults putting their genitalia into children is misdirected. Gay marriage is fine.

The rest were no doubt there "in spirit," while they stayed home and prayed about it. Because that's the surest way to make sure something gets done.

What are they even protesting about any more? Marriage Equality has won. It's over. Go home, NOM.

This is so 20-aught. The true progressives have already moved on to redefining other words so that they too no longer mean anything. I took on "pancake" last week, and man is it a tough one.

Glenn Beck drew a huge crowd in 2010, I think. Perhaps he should lead all future bigot friendly marches.

Please wait...
