Is it time for another LGBT March on Washington?

Danielle DiPaolo
account executive | Queen Village
"Yes. We’re living in scary times. People are very concerned that hard-fought victories will be stripped away, so I say to do the march sooner rather than later. But coordinate it with allies to give it more impact."


George Flynn
social-media manager | Fishtown
"Yes. There’s a high potential for the LGBT community to come under attack. I want Trump to understand that the LGBT community will not tolerate being harmed. Now is a great time to hold a national march in D.C."


Lexie Geraci
guest-services associate | South Philadelphia
"Yes. I know it will take a lot of effort but people have a right to speak out. [The march] doesn’t need to be directed against Trump, it can just be a general show of unity to ensure the LGBT movement continues to move forward."


Laya Pappu
scientist | Tucson, Ariz.
"No. You don’t want to antagonize Donald Trump at this point. That puts him on the defensive. If he actually revokes an LGBT civil right, then go for it. I’ll march, too, as a straight ally. But right now, he’s still flip-flopping. We don’t know what he’ll do."
