“Yes. It might be on short notice and [with] little publicity. But in my opinion, any show of force for LGBT rights is worth the effort. It’s also empowering for the marchers themselves.”</i> <b>Jane Charles-Voltaire</b><br>

“I’m a bit conflicted. Any amount of positive attention will be helpful to the cause, but some members of the media might sensationalize and caricature the more extreme elements of the movement. I just hope that as many people as possible attend to show the diversity within the community.”

“I have mixed feelings: Will it be effective? Will it take away from other grassroots efforts? But having said that, I do support the march. A national rally for LGBT support can only be good.”

“No. I question whether marches accomplish anything. It’s scheduled for a Sunday, which isn’t a work day. The politicians who need to hear the message won’t even be there. They’ll be out doing other things.”
