i was there in the front; i saw a glimpse of myself in this video. It was truly amazing for someone like me who'd never found acceptance outside my family to go to a rally of hundreds of people i didnt know and feel as comfortable as i do in my own house. A woman read my sign and hugged me; i had no idea who she was. It was really indescribable. I wish everyone could feel what i felt then at least once in their lives.
