150 people were present to demonstrate their opinions on whether or not Washington D.C. should. legalize gay marriage. Many of the people were bused in earlier from various churches from the area. The mayor and council men’s office is across the street from Freedom Plaza and these protesters hoped that they could be heard, especially in light of the issue being addressed by the committee Monday.

The Washington Post reports that the protesters wanted their voices to be taken seriously. Many of them were heard chanting, “Let the people vote!”.
