Enjoyed reading about it. However, the paper made it sound like thousands of queers were out protesting the event. Sickened my stomach.

"...the paper made it sound..."

Didn't it? Up north here, the Skagit Valley Herald ran the story Sunday; with photos, it took up about three-forths of a page (spread over two pages). The headline, all three photos, and probably 75 percent of the text was devoted to the number of gay rights protestors, what their signs and banners said, and a number of quotes and short interviews with some of them. Oh, also stuff about people calling Safeco Insurance to cancel policies, people returning Mariner tickets in protest and so on. Very little about the rally itself (I guess it wasn't it the REAL story?) and only a couple of quotes from rally attendees. Talk about your media bias.
