National Equality March seen from Lafayette Park, Minutes 67-72 in Washington DC October 11 2009

The following are the last five minutes of the National Equality March. It took 72 minutes -- an hour and 12 minutes -- for everybody participating in the National Equality March to pass the Northeast corner of Lafayette Park in Washington DC, with the street packed from curb to curb. In this clip you'll hear a group of anarchist drummers and see them hopping to their beat. You'll also hear a preacher approach archfundamentalist Randall Terry and say, with fervor, "Don't Worry, God Will Forgive You! I Will Pray for You!" The video quality in this segment is far from ideal; my first-choice video camera gave out before the march did and I had to film this last segment from my cell phone. Enjoy the gestalt of the march, and enjoy the feeling that there are a large number of people who support equal rights now for gay and lesbian Americans.
