I counted 8 non-white people.

Obviously, we don't have a problem with racism in the Capitol Hill LGBT community.

The fact that the African-American community didn't turn out to support the LGBT community isn't racism on the part of the LGBT community, it's homophobia and apathy on the part of the African-American community.

WAY closer to 10,000 people participating from Volunteer Park all the way down to Westlake. I think the cops were estimating only those folks who crowded into Westlake and stayed there...

Seattle is over 50 per cent minority - point well taken. The march and rally do not reflect that 21st century demographic of a world class cosmopolitan city ... work to do.

In case anyone is interested in finding the music used in this video, it's "Now Til '69" (Aeroplane Remix) by The Shortwave Set.

This is one person's camera view into the march - how can you base your assumption on the minorities not supporting the cause solely on one video? It could just be that the non-white people marching weren't filmed in the video...
