They never specified what age group. Sat. pm there is plans to have a candle light vigil at the elipse behind the oval office. The march around the mall on Sunday ending at the west steps of the capitol for a rally. After that, not sure what else. Although Im sure the after-parties for the 'adults' in the evening are going to be fun :-) Come on...all us Gays in one city...oh boy! But as all planning efforts are centered around hoping for wonderful turnout, the exact schedule and list of key speakers and events won't be published until approx. 2 weeks prior to the event. I would imagine they need to feel out a more accurate estimated head count from the 50 states organizers. But with all large-scale events...plans are always evolving leading up to it...

If I get to go to the march, I would be honored to have a chance to meet some of you guys. I’m in the middle of determining if I will be at a conference elsewhere at this time.

I have decided I will attend the March after giving it thought such as work, school, bills. I have realized this is a one time thing so I will make sure I go. Now I have never been Washington D.C so where will the March be held? Thank you. Hello. I have decided I will attend the March after giving it thought such as work, school, bills.

Ali Davis may also be on board - and possibly James Withers. As to the kid question. Our event will be kid-friendly - meaning, at a restaurant, not a bar. From what I understand, the march will just be a march. Four hours of either walking or listening to speakers. Whether that's kid-friendly or not may depend on the kid.... They are looking for organizers in all 50 states by the way - check out Maine, etc., at http://equalityacrossamerica.org Waymon! it would be great to see you there!
