| On the drive there, I figured there might be a few dozen people, but really had no idea what to expect. I've been to plenty of marriage equality events in San Francisco over the years, but this was after the election about an initiative two states away.
When I arrived, there were hundreds of people. But it was eerily quiet, more like a funeral than a protest. As people stood around in the crisp winter sun, the loudest sound was a nearby repairman's socket-wrench.
Then, there was a bullhorn and the mood rapidly became festive.
Following some speeches, there was a march and by that time the crowd was over 1,000.
"Gonna beat, back, the Mormon attack. Gonna beat beat back, the Mormon attack"
Also, there was the local angle with the protest of the famous Blake's Lotaburger getting attention.
