The View from Your Protest: Minneapolis
A reader writes:
I'm not very good at counting these things, but I'd say we had about 1,500
at the rally, an astonishing number considering that the organizing for this
started Monday night, there wasn't even a vote in Minnesota on gay rights
issues, and temps were in the mid-30s. The sun had come out for the first
time in days. It was mostly people in their 20s, and a surprising number
of straight couples and families with children. There were no
counter-protesters. There were no anti-Mormon signs or statements from the
speakers. In fact, state senator Scott Dibble, an openly gay man,
said of those who supported Prop 8: "They are good people. They care about
their families. We must show them how much we care about
ours."
