In Las Vegas this past weekend. I was out for a walk and happened to cruise right by them when they were gathered in front of city hall (this was a much smaller group than the one that apparently gathered on the strip). At the time I had no idea what it was about, although the rainbow flags clued me in to the fact that it was a gay and lesbian issue--I assumed it was a local battle of some kind. My plan was take advantage of the photo op once I was done exercising, but by the time I went back they were gone.
I was able to catch a few of them heading to their cars and asked about the protest. They enlightened me and told me it was just one of scores happening nation-wide that day.
Turns out the rest were marching down Freemont Street. And their cause seems to make people a might uncomfortable.
Most people just stared. Some shook their heads.
I heard one guy ask a friend: "What are they trying to accomplish?"
And then I saw a guy mime using a machine gun and gunning them down.
Nice. ->
