Early morning on n October 10, 2009, we left Ramapo College, with so much excitment and headed to Washington DC. On our six hour drive, we had all the attention on our vans because we decorated them with signs and people honked for us. We finally arrived at the hotel, checked in, ate dinner, made signs for the march the next day, and went to sleep. Early in the morning we were so eager to get to the march. When we finally arrived in DC, everyones eyes lit up when we stepped out and saw the thousands of people there standing up for their rights. We marched from the White House to the Capitol, demanding that President Barack Obama keeps his promises to allow gays to marry and end discrimination against them. People were chanting and singing all the way along the march, taking pictures, and enjoying the experiance. It was amazing to see how many people there were and how much energy people had. When we arrived at the capitol, there were several speeches made my important people and their words really touched us.
Thank you to everyone that supported us there and it was one of the most amazing experiances in my life.
