Well, the organizers of such marches are kinda in a bind. they realize that they are in deeper than they ever wanted to be and know that their support base isn't as stable as they had hoped. They have no alternative but to continue with their agenda and hope they will not loose any more momentum

What about it? Lots of people passed and a lot didn't. tada!

I didn't even know the day existed. Doesn't surprise me though, living in a conservative town like this one. We have a pride day that started four years ago and it consists of a picnic at a local park while we listen to the comments being made by passersby. That's just one of the reasons why I miss living in Toronto.

Your question in some ways seems so anti-inclusive--totally what Pride events are not about!  Remember the rainbow is inclusive--so best to ask everyone, not just gay men!  New York City has a great (and very inclusive) pride parade.  Come join us!

It's not that large of a number. Most people couldn't care less. It's just that the quiet majority are just that.. quiet.

It seems odd to me that the only ones demonstrating are the illegals.  Where is everyone else?  I have been writing and calling my represetnatives about this but it is curious why there are NO organized marches AGAINST illegals.\n\nCould it possibly be that the illegal immigrant marches are secretly organized by the Bush administration to give him ammunition for his idiotic Guest Worker program?  Hummm.

They wouldn't want to be accused of being used to 'chill' anyone's freedom of peaceful expression.  There were tons of legals at the march.  They had no more knowlegde from looking at the crowd who was and who was not an illegal immigrant than we did.  Realistically, they would have been barbequed if they had gone up to every person there and asked for ID to be in the country.  Besides, there is no law that says you have to carry ID when you protest, so what good would it do?  \n\nSome absences may have given them leads, or some businesses that closed may have confirmed suspicions, but they need some level of cause to accost someone.\n\nGood thing, too.  I'm against illegal immigration, but who wants to live somewhere where you can be detained just for doing what they did yesterday?

Chalmette, LA - 200 protesters\nChicago - 7,000 protestors\nLondon - 15,000 protesters (organizers predicted 100,000)\nNew York - 1,000 protesters\nPortland - 10,000 protesters\nSan Francisco - 1,000 protesters\nSeoul - 1,000 protesters\nStokholm - 1,000 protesters\nSydney - 500 protesters\nTokyo - 2,000 protesters\n\nNot quite the throngs of protesters predicted. It seems that maybe the anger of the people is being either overreported by the media or over exaggerated by the far left.

Great news, especially considering the other world cities it was up against, like Paris, New York, Moscow, and Madrid. Those aren't exactly small hick towns! \n\nIt will completely regenerate an area in the east of the city which has been in need for nearly 50 years. The cost is definitely worth it.

It looks a little too crowded for me.

There is not enough information.  You are leaving something out.  Did they sell twice as many $1 tickets than $2 tickets, or what?

It makes me sad. Guys in brown shirts thinking that they are so special. Well may be they are just that. In the short bus kind of special. All the people that showed up to yell at them. That is what they want. Truly it would have been better if no one came to protest. Just a few kids pointing and laughing would have been so sweet.

they are big bombs that have at their core the splitting of an atom. v dangerous stuff. A single bomb could likely snuff out NYC.

It was not just immigrants who were protesting, it was mainly informed American citizens. Even if we disagree on the matter of protests, or who protests, it is something you will have to bring up with our founding fathers. (1st Amendment) Also, in the mid 1970's, there were organized protests by neo-Nazis in the middle of largely Jewish communities that didn't garner this much outrage.  Sad, isnt it?
